Women are powerful and the words that come out from their mouths are very empowering too! I've read all these quotes that you posted, and I felt empowered to be there best that I can be; to do the things where I see myself growing. Among the quotes that you had above, I have to say that Helen Keller's "Life is either a great adventure or nothing." got to be my favorite. We need to remind ourselves that it's either a "hit or miss"thing, that's why we should always do our best in everything that we do!
