Quentin Bryce Quotes

The Australian way of affirmative action is setting goals and recognising discrimination and lack of opportunity and deciding to take action and setting some goals and targets. I guess I prefer that language to talking about quotas Picture Quote #1

It’s a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit Picture Quote #1

Maternity leave and parental leave is absolutely vital for strengthening families. It’s an issue for men and women Picture Quote #1

My mother played the piano and my father the violin, I can remember my dad teaching me how to waltz; I had my feet on his, my mother playing the piano, and my husband will tell you the lessons weren’t very successful Picture Quote #1

I think there’s a very clear recognition and understanding that the progress of women in business at the very highest decision-making levels is too slow. This is a discussion that’s going on in every country around the world, actually Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have any Indigenous friends until I was in my 30s, and I’ll always remember and be inspired by the remarkable friendship I had with Connie Bush, an outstanding Indigenous leader from Groot Eylandt on who was on the National Women’s Advisory Council with me Picture Quote #1

I think that young Australians ought to be taking language education much more seriously. I mean, you know, every day I’m meeting people with expertise, ability and talent in fields where I want to learn so much more; science, for example Picture Quote #1

Graduation day was a milestone in the most important journey of all - to the centre of oneself Picture Quote #1

I think we have to keep working enormously hard to see that every single Indigenous child - every Australian child - has true equality of opportunity. Weve got to work harder at it. I think, you know, the heartland issue for us is the gap; the gap in life expectancy in this country Picture Quote #1

One of the most enjoyable things I do at Government House and when I travel around Australia is to talk with children. I tell them about our parliamentary democracy - and I often do that as I’m walking into an Executive Council meeting next door! Picture Quote #1

I believe the old boys’ network is a powerful one. No one gives up power and privilege willingly, do they? Picture Quote #1

The aboriginal women leaders of Papunya - the Papunya Artists - performed a dance for me: the Honey Ant dance. They’d never done it for anyone else. They honoured me with a ceremonial stick that signifies the story of the land Picture Quote #1

When a woman is fit and healthy, everything else falls into place. We are conditioned to put others first, that ‘burnt chop syndrome’ we observed in our mothers. It takes discipline to pay attention to our diets, to exercise, to leave time for refreshment of mind, body and spirit Picture Quote #1

All women need support when they’re having their babies and their little families are in formation. I have to say I have a lot of concern about the numbers of women - and men, now - who are not getting the support that they need. There are not the families and the communities around that there used to be Picture Quote #1

For a very long time now I’ve been saying to young women, ‘You can have it all, but not all at the same time.’ How important it is to take very good care of yourself, of your mental and physical and spiritual wellbeing; it’s hard to do. It’s easier to be a workaholic than to have a truly balanced life Picture Quote #1

I support affirmative action. I support special measures when you need it Picture Quote #1

Again and again, I learn how much friendship enriches my life, bringing warmth, assurance, humour, inspiration, a sense of security. It depends on honesty, trust, loyalty. It’s about giving. It’s for sharing the good times, but also the tough times, hurt, grief, sadness Picture Quote #1

Yes, you can have it all, but not all at the same time. Set your own priorities, trust your gut and follow your heart Picture Quote #1
