“Being brave is when you have to do something because you know it is right, but at the same time, you are afraid to do it, because it might hurt or whatever. But you do it anyway.”

“Okay, here are the top ten reasons why I can't stand my sister Lucy: 10. I get all her hand-me-downs, even her bras. 9. Whem I refuse to wear her hand-me-downs, especially her bras, I get the big lecture about waste and the environment. Look, I am way concerned about the environment. But that does not mean I want to wear me sister's old bras.I told Mom I see no reason why I should even have to wear a bra, seeing as how it's not like I've got a lot to put in one, causing Lucy to remark that if I don't wear a bra now, then if I ever do get anything up there. it will be all saggy like those tribal women we saw on the Discovery Channel. 8. This is another reason why I can't stand Lucy. Because she is always making these kind of remarks. What we should really do, if you ask me, is send Lucy's old bras to those tribal women. 7. Her conversations on the phone go like this: "No way... So what did he say?... Then what did she say?... No way... That is so totally untrue... I do not. I so do not... Who said that?... Well, it isn't true... No. I do not... I do not like him... Well, okay, maybe I do. Oh, gotta go, call-waiting.”

“I stood on Susan Boone's front porch, feeling lame. But then, since I've pretty much felt lame my entire life, this was no big surprise. On the other hand, usually I felt lame for no particular reason. This time I really had a reason to feel lame. ”

“I kind of was beginning to feel like I was being underutilized [as Teen Ambassador to the UN]. I mean, there were a lot more important issues out there for teens that I could have been bringing international attention to than what kids see out their windows. I mean, instead of sitting in the White House press office for three hours after school every Wednesday, or attending International Festival of the Child concerts, I could have been out there alerting the public to the fact that in some countries, it is still perfectly legal for men to take teen brides -- even multiple teen brides! What was that all about? And what about places like Sierra Leone, where teens and even younger kids routinely get their limbs chopped off as "warnings" against messing with the warring gangs that run groups of diamond traffickers? And hello, what about all those kids in countries with unexploded land mines buried in the fields where they'd like to play soccer, but can't because it's too dangerous? And how about a problem a little closer to home? How about all the teenagers right here in America who are taking guns to school and blowing people away? Where are they getting these guns, and how come they think shooting people is a viable solution to their problems? And why isn't anybody doing anything to alleviate some of the pressures that might lead someone to think bringing a gun to school is a good thing? How come nobody is teaching people like Kris Parks to be more tolerant of others, to stop torturing kids whose mothers make them wear long skirts to school?”

“It is totally unfair that Lucy should not only have a cool boyfriend but a boyfriend our parents can’t stand, something I have been praying for my entire life, practically.”

“So please, be a little bit gentler with yourself. Forgive yourself more. Practice self-compassion. And remember that you don’t have to put on a brave face all of the time. You don’t have to be any certain way for you to be loved. Just do what you can with where you are. That is enough.”
“Don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself. Keep fighting for your dreams!”
“Even on your worst days, you are always worth love and respect. Don’t ever settle for anything less.”

Every girl should have an inspirational woman to look up to—a powerful woman with kind and wise words and actions to match. We need to teach children about feminism , the importance of a young voice and a female voice , as well as their actions. We need to show them the power that one inspirational quote has to guide them towards their greatest potential in life .
These quotes are here to remind young girls that self-love is a good thing and an important thing, that they should go after their goals no matter what. These self- love quotes can also serve as a reminder that they should be with a person who is kind to them, who chooses them, who makes them feel good.
Here are some motivational , positive quotes by successful women for every young girl about love, life, and everything in between:
“Imperfections are beauty , madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
“I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.”
“You have what it takes to be a victorious, independent, fearless woman .”
“No matter what you look like or think you look like, you’re special, and loved, and perfect just the way you are.”
“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.”
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”
“ Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear.”
“There are those who say fate is something beyond our command; that destiny is not our own. But I know better. Our fate lives within us. You only have to be brave enough to see it.”
“Ask any woman & she’ll tell you why Eve bit / into that apple. Why she chose the universe instead / of you.”
“There’s something so special about a woman who dominates in a man’s world. It takes a certain grace, strength, intelligence, fearlessness, and the nerve to never take no for an answer.”
“You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself.”
“Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.”
“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.”
“I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you’re supposed to be to live a more authentic life.”
“The world needs strong women. Women who will lift and build others, who will love and be loved. Women who live bravely, both tender and fierce. Women of indomitable will.”
“You is smart, you is kind, you is important.”
“Just because you are soft doesn’t mean you are not a force. Honey and wildfire are both the color gold.”
“ Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”
“Black women have had to develop a larger vision of our society than perhaps any other group. They have had to understand white men, white women, and black men. And they have had to understand themselves. When black women win victories, it is a boost for virtually every segment of society.”
“Only love can save this world. So I stay, I fight, and I give. This is my mission now. Forever.”
“You can be the lead in your own life .”
“Take your broken heart, make it into art.”
“They say it’s the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me, I just wanna live a life I’m gonna remember even if I don’t write it down.”
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
“Just because something works doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.”
Let’s get one thing clear: it is important to celebrate every woman in your life every day. International Women’s Day –March 8–is a day for every strong woman , every girl boss , every little girl (or little boy) who will grow up and become an inspiration , an entrepreneur , a mom, a strong woman . It’s a day for every person who identifies as a woman to love and embrace their courage , beauty , love , smarts, and strength. It’s a day to put more focus on women’s rights and women’s voices , as well as a movement and a celebration of every Nasty Woman out there.
Here are some of the best motivational quotes by female leaders to inspire every little girl or little boy to become the strong girl they want to be and motivate every young woman to follow their dream (s). If you are a girl or a young woman and you want to grow up and become a successful female entrepreneur , these quotes by some successful people just might inspire you:
“We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave – to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.”
“If you are always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be.”
“I am too intelligent, too demanding, and too resourceful for anyone to be able to take charge of me entirely. No one knows me or loves me completely. I have only myself.”
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
“ Courage , sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.”
“Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would dare to do anything, be that independent girl who didn’t need a man ; be that girl who never backed down.”
“I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls . I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.”
“We can do no great things, only small things with great love .”
“ Courage is the most important of all the virtues because, without courage , you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”
“One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals.”
“If you want something said, ask a man ; if you want something done, ask a woman .”
“No woman should be told she can’t make decisions about her own body. When women’s rights are under attack, we fight back.”
“There is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.”
“Our country was built by strong women, and we will continue to break down walls and defy stereotypes.”
“Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it, the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.”
“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”
“A man is absolutely not a necessity. I love men, I think men are the coolest, but you really don’t need them to live. My mom said to me, ‘You know, sweetheart, one day you should settle down and marry a rich man .’ I said, ‘Mom, I am a rich man .’”
“If you don’t know what your passion is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find it.”
“I found that ultimately if you truly pour your heart into what you believe in — even if it makes you vulnerable — amazing things can and will happen.”
“We need to get women to the point where they aren’t apologizing. It is time to take ownership in our success.”
“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.”
“If you push through that feeling of being scared, that feeling of taking risk, really amazing things can happen.”
“If you don’t get out of the box you’ve been raised in, you won’t understand how much bigger the world is.”
“If you want to run for Prime Minister, you can. If you don’t, that’s wonderful, too. Shave your armpits, don’t shave them, wear flats one day, heels the next. These things are so irrelevant and surface to what it is all really about, and I wish people wouldn’t get caught up in that. We want to empower women to do exactly what they want, to be true to themselves, to have the opportunities to develop. Women should feel free.”
“It took me quite a long time to develop a voice, and now that I have it, I am not going to be silent.”
“Feminism isn’t about making women stronger. Women are already strong; it’s about changing the way the world perceives that strength.”
Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. … It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.
We hope these quotes by amazing women inspired every young girl to understand their potential as a woman , develop their strengths and wits, and embrace the strong woman they will become. We need to teach young girls about feminism, the importance of their voice and their actions, and the power that one inspirational quote has to guide them towards their greatest potential in life .
Social media has completely changed the way every girl sees herself. With Instagram, Tik Tok, Pinterest, and YouTube, every young woman is confusing real beauty and true success with what is portrayed online, even though it’s not always authentic.
To be a beautiful person is to recognize the goodness within yourself, to believe that you are a beautiful, capable, and strong person . If you identify as a woman –a white woman , a Black woman , an Asian woman , a woman of color–believe in yourself and what you are capable of. Think of one of these quotes and remind yourself that you are powerful and can do anything you set your mind to. You are a force. Remember that.
