What are some great inspirational quotes for a young girl?

Question

I'm giving a CD to a former student for Christmas. I'd like to include a killer quote in the card- something girl-powerish and inspirational (not necessarily Biblically inspirational). I've got a couple from Maya Angelou in mind, but so far nothing has spoken to me as being the one. Do you have any quotes that are particularly moving to you?

Answer 1

i'm not a girl but honestly I helped a lot out with there problems and the one that works the most for them is

"follow your own heart not someone elses"

Answer 2

I would suggest going to this website:


http://www.coolquotescollection.com/


It has a great sortable list of thousands of quotes and a quote search on its site.

As far as ones from personal knowledge, there is a quote one of my wife's high school teachers wrote in her yearbook that she just loves, even to the point where she wants to have one specially made and framed.

"When you teach a man, you teach a person. But when you teach a woman , you teach a generation."

I don't know if it was her own quote or if she got it from some historical figure.

Answer 3

I don't know if any of these will help. They're all by Eleanor Roosevelt, and some of my favorites.

A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

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

One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
