Title image:Woman

A chaste woman is the noblest creation of Ahura Mazda
Zarathushtra

Woman is the teacher of gentility to man. She helps man to grow in moral height. She is the sustaining power of life of man.
Zarathushtra

God enjoins you to treat women well, for they are your mothers, daughters and aunts.
Prophet Muhammed

The rights of women are sacred. See that women are maintained in the rights attributed to them.
Prophet Muhammed

Do not prevent your women from coming to the mosque; but their homes are better for them.
Prophet Muhammed

In the Vedas and the upanishads, women taught the highest truths and received the same veneration as men.
Swami Vivekananda

There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing.
Swami Vivekananda

Women must be put in a position to solve their problems in their own way. No one can or ought to do this for them.
Swami Vivekananda

Along with other things, our women should acquire the spirit of valour and heroism. In the present day, it has become necessary for them also to learn self defence.
Swami Vivekananda

All women are parts of the Divine mother, and therefore they should be looked upon as mothers by all.
Sri Ramakrishna

When I look on a woman of character belonging to a respectable family, I see in her the Divine mother arranged in the modest garb of a chaste lady; and again when I look upon public women of the city, sitting in their open verandahs in the garb of immodesty and shamelessness, I see in them the same Divine mother sporting in a different way.
Sri Ramakrishna
