Quotable Quotes

Earlier this week I was working on a presentation and wanted to include an inspirational quote, so naturally I went online and googled “inspirational quotes about women.” I could’ve spent a full day just clicking through the various sites: inspirational quotes about women to motivational quotes for women (and everything in between).

So many of the quotes were worth sharing, but I decided to share some of my favorites below.

• "I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels."
  - Maya Angelou
  
  
• “The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.”
  - Helen Keller
  
  
• “We don’t have to do big things only small things with great love.”
  - Sister Teresa
  
  
• “The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world.”
  - Charles Malik
  
  
• “Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition."
  - Timothy Leary
