Woman

Googled some quotes about women and these are the ones I like.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
-Charlotte Whitton

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, "She doesn't have what it takes." They will say, "Women don't have what it takes." -Clare Boothe Luce

The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend. -George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905-1906

I am a woman above everything else. -Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

The history of all times, and of today especially, teaches that ... women will be forgotten if they forget to think about themselves. -Louise Otto

I hope that my dear sisters throughout the world—grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and friends—never underestimate the power of their influence for good, especially in the lives of our precious children and youth!... May I invite you to rise to the great potential within you. But don’t reach beyond your capacity. Don’t set goals beyond your capacity to achieve. Don’t feel guilty or dwell on thoughts of failure. Don’t compare yourself with others. Do the best you can, and the Lord will provide the rest. Have faith and confidence in Him, and you will see miracles happen in your life and the lives of your loved ones. . . Wherever you have been planted on this beautiful but often troubled earth of ours, you can be the one to “succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” (D&C 81:5). My dear sisters, as you live your daily life with all its blessings and challenges, let me assure you that the Lord loves you. -Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
(please don't mind that I look totally prego in this shot, but I am not!)
Happy Mother's Day!
