"Ladies! I encourage you NOT to be so easily flattered by what a man has. Be flattered by his strength, courage, integrity, and character as a man. Be impressed by his ability to be honest, faithful, loving, and respectful to you. Be impressed because he can communicate and openly express his feelings. Be impressed because he's got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed because he's a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk!"

"He's just a flash in the pants."
"Stand true to your calling to be a man. Real women will always be relieved and grateful when men are willing to be men."
"What the world needs now is liberated men who have the qualities Silverstein cites, men who are 'empathetic and strong, autonomous and connected, responsible to self, to family and friends, to society, and capable of understanding how those responsibilities are, ultimately, inseparable.' Men need feminist thinking. It it the theory that supports their spiritual evolution and their shift away from the patriarchal model. Patriarchy is destroying the well-being of men, taking their lives daily."
"Pornography exists for the lonesome, the ugly, the fearful - it's made for the losers."
"One day I was telling him that I thought that cars had replaced guns as phallic symbols for American men, and I thought it was interesting that he had one that was so small and fast. The next day he gave me the Datsun and went out and bought a Lincoln."
"Again and again a man would tell me about early childhood feelings of emotional exuberance, of unrepressed joy, of feeling connected to life and to other people, and then a rupture happened, a disconnect, and that feeling of being loved, of being embraced, was gone. Somehow the test of manhood, men told me, was the willingness to accept this loss, to not speak it even in private grief. Sadly, tragically, these men in great numbers were remembering a primal moment of heartbreak and heartache: the moment that they were compelled to give up their right to feel, to love, in order to take their place as patriarchal men."
"Aggression, rage and violence are archetypal foundations of manhood."
"We need to begin to see hyper-masculinity as the disorder it is, and not as a strength."
"If we're talking about masculinity and tenderness, I don't look at Clinton."

"There's not a single good thing about fear. Fear is a habitual liar and a destroyer of a purpose - filled life. Don't entertain fear. You've got to protect your dreams, goals, and the desires of your heart. Be brave in all things!"
"Never stop pushing for what you want! If something is truly important to you, stay diligent and find a way. Depending on whom you ask, the answer may be different. Never settle for the first answer! Do your own research, ask different people, go above other people's head if you have to. Sometimes it's necessary to push the envelope. Some people will purposely give you the wrong answer to try to stop you and/or hold you back. This, unfortunately, is a reality. Some people's intentions are all wrong. Be mindful that not everyone will have your best interest at heart."
"Dare to be bold and brave, my BEAUTIFUL QUEENS. Dare to believe that you can. Dare to make your dreams a reality. Dare to get out of your comfort zone and soar! Dare to live your life limitlessly. Dare to be yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. DARE."
"Don't destroy yourself over somebody else's foolishness. I know they betrayed you. I know they lied on you. I know they talked behind your back and told all of your business. I know they hurt you to the core. I know they turned their back on you. I know they cheated on you. I know they mislead you. I know, I KNOW. In spite of it all, you have to know that you are worth more than what they dished out to you. You will survive! You will make it through! Remember who YOU are and know YOUR self - worth!"
"Replace the word can't with can. Know that you can, believe that you can, and know with ALL of your heart that you will. You will succeed in spite of any obstacles that may try to hinder you! There's so much power in having a positive attitude, positive mindset, and positive outlook."
"Genuine friends will NOT be intimidated by your success. They will be happy for you and celebrate you! Don't fool yourself, jealousy and friendship do NOT mix."
"Black Girls. Naturally resilient! We persevere, stand tall, and fight to the end. We don't give up! We make moves and succeed. We're go - getters by nature. We are stronger than most. We are unstoppable! Fearless and confident in our capabilities. WE are Black Girl Strong! #Incomparable"
"Some people take loyalty way too far. I have boundaries when it comes to loyalty. Yes, I'm loyal, but not to a fault. I cannot and will not compromise myself for other people's senseless behavior. I have common sense, a great deal of wisdom, and I value my life. Loyalty shouldn't cost you your integrity, freedom, or your life. Think!"
"Dear YOU, don't compare yourself to ANYONE. Your Unique Self is empowered, powerful, and unstoppable! Your uniqueness is what makes you incomparable! Don't underestimate the beauty of just being YOU."
"Many people think less of a man if he cries because it supposedly shows a sign of weakness, but I beg to differ. A man that's in touch with his feelings is absolutely beautiful! I admire, respect, and appreciate their braveness to be vulnerable. Crying is NOT a weakness. We cannot expect our men to be strong all of the time. That's SO unfair! They have feelings, too. Don't ever make a man feel less than just because he cries. Comfort, love, and support him. Show him that you genuinely care."
