I thought it might be interesting to create a collection of famous quotes about women, so I am going to publish little notes and quotes about women now and then here. This is a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, which I have always found very witty:

A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. 

This is so true. Sometimes we, women, don’t know how strong we are until life tests us really hard. When life is smooth, a woman does not have to show her power; she is fine with the reputation of being a weaker one. Moreover, some wise women enjoy displaying their weakness.

The gift of real gracefullness is not given to us by nature; it is developed with time, it should be acquired like education. Real grace is a result of a long self-study, and like every other gift, it makes an individual unique. The women who understand the power of being weak are always smart and strong. I would not dare to test such a woman: she may be as strong as any man, and even stronger.
