(page 11)
With most men, unbelief in one thing springs from blind belief in another.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Neither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other. Thus, no marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose, respecting and relying upon each other's strengths.
I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men; they are far superior and always have been.

I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms and their souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom to choose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads, uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdom of beauty and love.

The valor and courage of our young women and men in the armed services are a shining example to all of the world, and we owe them and their families our deepest respect.
Men's memoirs are about answers; women's memoirs are about questions. Most male authors want to look good in their memoirs and have a place in posterity, while most women know that posterity is what happens when you no longer care. Women want to connect with others here and now; they couldn't care less about legacy!
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed.
Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives.
It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all.
Men are not the enemy, but the fellow victims. The real enemy is women's denigration of themselves.
England is the paradise of women, the purgatory of men, and the hell of horses.
The superior man governs men, according to their nature, with what is proper to them, and as soon as they change what is wrong, he stops.
Again, men in general desire the good, and not merely what their fathers had.
