Summary

Texas women have been eloquent commentators on the life andtimes of Texans from pioneer days to the present. Hundreds of memorable quotes and quips pay historical tribute to their insights and experiences. Presented in alphabetical order by subject andindexed by author, the quotes include such gems as: It's not just enough to swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and let 'er fly.--Babe Didrikson Zaharias Every expert in this world started out as a beginner.--Suzann Thompson At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend, or a parent.--Barbara Bush I am Woman--hear me roar. . . . Or is that my vacuum cleaner? --Liz Carpenter Somewhere deep down, I really feel that every Texas woman ought to own a pair of red boots--even if she never wears them.--Betty Sue Flowers If Texas were a sane place, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun.--Molly Ivins If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?--Linda Ellerbee It's an honor to be the first woman on the Supreme Court, but it will be even better when we get the second cowgirl on the Supreme Court.--Sandra Day O'Connor Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power. --Barbara Jordan Cook things so you can tell what they are. Good plain food ain't committed no crime an' don't need no disguise.--Mary Lasswell.
