“… women are notoriously underpaid compared to men … Women tend to look for acceptance before compensation. A woman can be told that she’s loved, and needed, and brilliant, and wonderful, and that will be enough to hold her down. Women are hypnotised by that kind of language … Too many women … are still willing to settle for a stroke instead of a contract, a pat on the head instead of a substantial raise or bonus. Don’t do it. Dogs and children get pats on the head. Women in business get cash.”

“If a woman has an education and a skill, she has guaranteed divorce insurance for her lifetime … What is divorce insurance? It’s an education, a skill, a profession, an ability to take care of yourself, come what may … The only insurance protection you have is financial independence.”

“Woe be the one who hasn’t made it by age thirty. There is something ludicrous about setting the bar for making it at thirty when the average life expectancy is seventy-four. The truth is that each of us has the capacity, if we so desire, to follow different paths at different points in our lives - to put an end to one pursuit and begin another. When you understand that, you’ll see that there is no such thing as failure.”
― Judge Judy Sheindlin

“Men don’t deal well with guilt and anger … You attack them, majority of the time their reaction will be to fight back … If you don’t attack, many men will have to face the hard reality that they have taken more from your relationship than they have given.”
