You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus AureliusThis is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.
Joel OsteenPower is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
Fyodor DostoevskyThe PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.
Bill GatesMy family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‚dark continent‘, and because I was a girl.
Jane GoodallI heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?
Taylor SwiftI love women with attitude.
Kevin HartI was raised by strong women, and that DNA is in my daughter and wife.
Dwayne JohnsonThe art of being a slave is to rule one’s master.

Herbert HooverTime and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.
Henry FordI have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I’m for anything life-affirmative. I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different.
Matthew McConaugheyOnly strength can cooperate. Weakness can only beg.
Dwight D. EisenhowerWe are the people our parents warned us about.
Jimmy BuffettGod has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!
Joyce MeyerI think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don’t like that. It’s great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you’re worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
Angelina JolieWe’re not a fragile people. We’re not a frightful people. Our power doesn’t come from some self-declared savior promising that he alone can restore order as long as we do things his way. We don’t look to be ruled.

Narendra ModiAlthough the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school, I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would be standing here as the first African-American First Lady.
Michelle ObamaI am not afraid… I was born to do this.
Joan of ArcEncouragement to all women is – let us try to offer help before we have to offer therapy. That is to say, let’s see if we can’t prevent being ill by trying to offer a love of prevention before illness.
Maya AngelouI am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.
Lady GagaI would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

Ralph Waldo EmersonNo sanction can stand against ignited minds.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI affirm to you the tremendous potential you have, not beyond anything you could ever imagine.
Stephen CoveyNo woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.
Oscar WildeI was raised to be an independent woman, not the victim of anything.
Kamala HarrisThe greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Benjamin DisraeliIt is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
Helen KellerI always tell young girls, surround yourself with goodness. I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.
Michelle ObamaIn the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you’re a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.
Billie EilishThe most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
Alice WalkerEither you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.

Henry David ThoreauWhat someone else does or doesn’t do has no effect on me and what I do.
Conor McGregorGod has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

Marilyn MonroeYou call yourself what you want to call yourself.
Bob DylanSometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
Clint EastwoodIn too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear. Through initiatives like My Brother’s Keeper, I’m personally committed to changing both perception and reality.
Barack ObamaNo woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
Margaret ThatcherI never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.
Katharine HepburnDon’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
George S. PattonI always think of myself as a working girl.
Dolly PartonI can express myself.
Amy WinehouseBe miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.
Wayne DyerIf you were the President of the United States or the Queen of England – you couldn’t have a person who would be more protective than my mother was for me. Which meant really that I could dare to do all sorts of things.
Maya AngelouWhat I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.
Helen KellerI want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI’ve always felt heroic about my life… As a child, I remember little girls in the playground moaning about how boys could do more than they could. I didn’t think that was the case at all. My parents didn’t treat me as a girl.
Vivienne WestwoodI don’t worry about stress. I create it.
Jim MattisWhen I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.
Lady GagaMy advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.
Stephen HawkingI came up from a difficult background.
Gordon RamsayYou don’t have to fear defeat if you believe it may reveal powers that you didn’t know you possessed.
Napoleon HillI’m not going to change the world. You’re not going to change the world. But we can help – we can all help.
