| A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away. |
| A lady is smarter than a gentleman, maybe, she can sew a fine seam, she can have a baby, she can use her intuition instead of her brain, but she can't fold a paper in a crowded train. |
| Frigidity is largely nonsense. It is this generation's catchword, one only vaguely understood and constantly misused. Frigid women are few. There is a host of diffident and slow-ripening ones. |
| Getting along with men isn't what's truly important. The vital knowledge is how to get along with one man. |
| Gossip is the tool of the poet, the shoptalk of the scientist and the consolation of the housewife, wit, tycoon and intellectual. It begins in the nursery and ends when speech is past. |
| Gossip isn't scandal and it's not merely malicious. It's chatter about the human race by lovers of the same. |

| I do not know who first invented the myth of sexual equality. But it is a myth willfully fostered and nourished by certain semi-scientists and other fiction writers. And it has done more, I suspect, to unsettle marital happiness than any other false doctrine of this myth-ridden age. |
| In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime. |
| Marriage was all a woman's idea and for man's acceptance of the pretty yoke, it becomes us to be grateful. |

| Of course we women gossip on occasion. But our appetite for it is not as avid as a mans. It is in the boys gyms, the college fraternity houses, the club locker rooms, the paneled offices of business that gossip reaches its luxuriant flower. |
| Oh, high is the price of parenthood, and daughters may cost you double. You dare not forget, as you thought you could, that youth is a plague and a trouble. |
| Please to put a nickel, please to put a dime. How petitions trickle in at Christmas time! |
