When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of
another.

to keep learning

I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life—and I’ve never let
it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

We may encounter many defeats but we must
not be defeated

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise
each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be
humble.

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear;
knowing what must be done does away with fear. - Rosa Park

I’ve learned
that making a ‘living’ is not the same as ‘making a life.
 Maya Angelou

It’s a helluva
start, being able to recognize what makes you happy

Life was meant to be lived. Curiosity must be
kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

You can waste your lives
drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them.

What you do makes a difference, and you
have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

There are two kinds of people, those who
do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition
there.

Step out of the history that is holding you back. Step into the new story you are willing
to create.

I try to live in a little bit of my own joy and not let people steal it or take
it.


All careers go up and down like friendships, like marriages, like anything else, and you
can’t bat a thousand all the time.

A strong woman is a woman determined to do something others
are determined not be done.

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed.
But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.

Above all, be the heroine
of your life, not the victim.

Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now,
without delay.

I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have
tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.

The best protection any
woman can have…is courage.

We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this
thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.

Success breeds confidence.

The way in which we
think of ourselves has everything to do with how our world sees us and how we see ourselves
successfully acknowledged by the world.

If you don’t risk anything, you risk even
more.


You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be
necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can
still come out of it.

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.

Always go with the
choice that scares you the most, because that’s the one that is going to require the most from
you.


One of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself, know who you are, what
you believe in and where you want to go.

A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman.
But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult.

A man’s got to do what a man’s
got to do. A woman must do what he can’t.

Here’s to strong women: may we know them, may we be
them, may we raise them.

 If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask
a woman. 

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have
any


You don’t have to be pretty. You don’t owe prettiness to anyone…You don’t owe it to
your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general.
Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked ‘female’


Define success on
your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live. 


Have no
fear of perfection; you’ll never reach it.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the
rest is merely tenacity


Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of
possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.


Find something you’re passionate
about and keep tremendously interested in it

Just because you are blind, and unable to see my
beauty doesn’t mean it does not exist.


Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of
courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success
is not built on resentment and fears.
