Potent Quotables

I love great quotes.  I collect them.  Lots of them.  Some are religious, some are secular.  I came across this one the other night while thumbing through some favorites, and I read it over and over and over again.  Because sometimes being a girl is downright hard.  But this quote always makes me feel all warm and cozy inside about how ridiculously awesome and special it is to be a girl.  :)

"I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the 'highest place of honor' in the Church and in the world.  One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity.  Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes.  It is the divine adornment of humanity.  It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength.  It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it.  Femininity is part of your inner beauty."
