“Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.”

“Behind every great man is not a woman, she is beside him, she is with him, not behind him”

Tariq Ramadan (1962) Swiss muslim scholar

John Lennon (1940–1980) English singer and songwriter

“A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.”

“There's nothing honerable in a man who hides behind a blue woman's hanky.”

John Flanagan (1873–1938) Irish-American hammer thrower

“That man and woman have an equality of duties and rights is accepted by woman even less than by man. Behind his destiny woman must annihilate herself, must be only his complement. A woman dedicates herself to the vocation of her husband; she fills up and performs the subordinate parts in it. But if she has any destiny, any vocation of her own, she must renounce it, in nine cases out of ten.”

Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) English social reformer and statistician, and the founder of modern nursing

“Man is half of woman, who helps her and the one who stands beside her, one who makes her feel comfortable, but the man should be jealous [Gheerah] on his wife not of her.”

Layal Abboud (1982) Lebanese pop singer
