IVY BAKER PRIEST

We seldom stop to think how many people's lives are entwined with our own. It is a form of selfishness to imagine that every individual can operate on his own or can pull out of the general stream and not be missed.

My father had always said there are four things a child needs: plenty of love, nourishing food, regular sleep, and lots of soap and water. After that, what he needs most is some intelligent neglect.

Any woman who has a career and a family automatically develops something in the way of two personalities, like two sides of a dollar bill, each different in design.... Her problem is to keep one from draining the life from the other.

Self-pity is, perhaps, the least becoming of all emotions, and we often indulge in it only beause we are too exhausted to resist.

No matter how carefully you plan it, there are times when you suddenly find yourself a committee of one, in charge of lifting the entire world with a lever.

We women don't care too much about getting our pictures on money as long as we can get our hands on it.
