We in the industry know that behind every successful screenwriter stands a woman. And behind her stands his wife.

Groucho Marx

Behind every successful man, there is a woman - And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

Mark Twain

Behind every successful man is a proud wife and a surprised mother-in-law.

Hubert H. Humphrey

A high-powered, successful woman doesn't necessarily have the same support behind her that a man in that position would. Plus, she's expected to be a domestic goddess, as well as the best wife, mother, friend, and lover. But it's not just in politics: you see it in acting, too, and in journalism.

Raquel Cassidy

Behind every successful man you'll find a woman who has nothing to wear.

Harold Coffin

Every great man has a woman behind him ... And every great woman has some man or other in front of her, tripping her up.

Dorothy L. Sayers

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Jim Carrey

Behind every great man is his wife trying to keep him alive.

Justin Baldoni

In every bed you will find four persons sleeping together. It is very rare to find a double bed, because then four persons are there overcrowding it. The wife is there and the ego, and the husband is there and the ego - husband is hidden behind his ego, wife is hidden behind her ego, and those two egos go on making love. The real contact never happens.

Rajneesh

Behind every successful enterprise, there is a supporting wife and surprised in-laws.

Mel Robbins

This process, this method necessary to man's survival and prosperity upon the earth, has often been derided as unduly or exclusively "materialistic." But it should be clear that what has happened in this activity proper to man's nature is a fusion of "spirit" and matter; man's mind, using the ideas it has learned, directs his energy in transforming and reshaping matter into ways to sustain and advance his wants and his life. Behind every "produced" good, behind every man-made transformation of natural resources, is an idea directing the effort, a manifestation of man's spirit.

Murray Rothbard

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.

Lana Turner

For pilots sometimes see behind the curtain, behind the veil of gossamer velvet, and find the truth behind man, the force behind a universe.

Richard Bach

The prince exults whomever he selects as his consort, but the queen, rather than elevating the subject of her choice, humiliates him as a man. By all that is right, a man is not intended to be the husband of his wife, but a woman is to be her husband's wife.
