A Quote by Periyar E. V. Ramasamy

Man treats woman as his own property and not as being capable of feelings, like himself. The way man treats women is much worse than the way landlords treat servants and the high-caste treat the low-caste. These treat them so demeaningly only in situations mutually affecting them; but men treat cruelly and as slaves, from their birth till death.

Men often treat others worse than they treat themselves, but they rarely treat anyone better. It is the height of folly to expect consideration and decency from a person who mistreats himself.

Thomas Szasz

A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact, he hasn't the ability to see a woman, objectively speaking, until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman.

Robert Johnson

To recommend a monarchy on account of the prosperity it gives the provinces seems to me like recommending that a man should have liberty to treat his children as slaves, if at the same time he treats his slaves with reasonable consideration.

Robert Graves

Wimbledon is not the tournament I love. I don't like how they treat the players. There are small things that don't cost them anything and they make such a big deal out of it. If they treat us this way, well, we have to treat them the same. We want to be respected, the way we respect Wimbledon, even if it is not the best Grand Slam on earth.

Marat Safin

You can always tell how a man will treat his wife by the way he treats his mother.

Janette Rallison

Don't treat people the way they treat you. Treat them better.

I have a saying - 'You treat me good, I'll treat you better. You treat me bad, I'll treat you worse. And when in doubt, knock 'em out.'

Chuck Zito

I think it's pathetic that women and men treat each other worse than we treat our pets. It's love or hate.

Gene Simmons

You can always meet stupid people in your life journey; you should treat them like the way candle treats darkness: Illuminate them!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

It is a pity that so often the only way to treat girls like people seems to be to treat them like boys.

Katharine Whitehorn

If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.

Haim Ginott

My standard for the women in my life is like, 'If no man can treat you better than I can treat you, they can't come.' You gotta step up to the plate. With respect, with acknowledgment, with support.
