All of us, no matter how big or how small, whether male or female -- we all owe our lives to a woman. While Mother's Day may not be till May, let's celebrate all the women of the world with these inspirational quotes during International Women's Day and Women's History Month.
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Today is the one day in the year, that maybe we can all muster something positive to add to the convo? Its international Womens Day. Where I grew up, every woman received a flower, every march 8th. Dont hate - appreciate.
Is there any holiday for a Single White American Male? haha.
Anyway, congrats to all the ladies out there! Thank you for having our babies, that must be tough. <--- and no not being sexist. Seriously, thank you. I wouldn't want to do it.

You're welcome! And to be perfectly honest - it's extremely tough. But I'm glad that I got to do it and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bi*ch, okay.
~Madonna
I think, therefore I'm single.
~Lizz Winstead
The truth will set you free. But first, it will pi$$ you off.
~ Gloria Steinem
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
― Erica Jong
Sometimes you have to be a bi*ch to get things done.
--Madonna
He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fu*k things up this badly.
― George Carlin
Women are their own worst enemies. And guilt is the main weapon of self-torture . . . Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.
― Erica Jong, Fear of Flying
I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.
~ Oprah Winfrey
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
~ Maya Angelou
Women are wonderful. Greater capacity for thinking of the "greater" good, and a higher capacity for empathy for others.
Not to mention all the other things I already like about them...
