20 Motivation Quotes for Strong Women

I have used many life and motivational quotes to understand and express my feelings during daily affirmations or mantras. They have worked a great deal for me. It's amazing how a set of few words say so much about you and summarize your life, personality or way of thinking. Life quotes are the best.

Today I'm going to share with you quotes for strong and ambitious women that I love so much. Here we go!

Best Quotes For Strong & Ambitious Women


1. This quote really defines the qualities of a strong woman. A strong woman is a go-getter no matter her environment she makes effort to have a better tomorrow and to make an impact on her generation.

I AM A STRONG WOMAN. I DON’T SIT AROUND FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF, NOR LET PEOPLE MISTREAT ME.   I DON’T RESPOND TO PEOPLE WHO DICTATE TO ME OR TRY TO BRING ME DOWN.   IF I FALL I WILL RISE UP EVEN STRONGER BECAUSE I AM A SURVIVOR AND NOT A VICTIM.   I AM IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN’T ACHIEVE


2. Strong women are role models to those they leave behind, especially their daughters. Most women want to be strong but don't know who to look up to for guidance. Be the woman that will influence your children positively. And teach your sons who a strong woman is.

BE A STRONG WOMAN. SO YOUR DAUGHTER WILL HAVE A ROLE MODEL AND YOUR SON WILL KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A WOMAN WHEN HE’S A MAN


3. Ambitious women are seen as acting rude most of the time and it's because they are simply women who know exactly what they want from life. Women have for long been labelled as confused and have always been under the control of men but now that more women are beginning to confidently speak up about what they want, they are referred to as rude.  

I’M TOUGH, AMBITIOUS AND I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. IF THAT MAKES ME A BITCH, OKAY.” – MADONNA


4. Strong women seek the solution before lamenting. They have emotions and break down too but they still stay focused on bringing an alternative solution to the problem.

STRONG WOMEN DON’T PLAY THE VICTIM. DON’T MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK PITIFUL AND DON’T POINT FINGERS. THEY STAND AND THEY DEAL.” – MANDY HALE


5. There was such an aha moment when I read this quote. I hate to be controlled and that's very common with strong women. Strong women know how to control themselves enough and any other control on her drives her nuts. She needs to be set free to do what she wants to do and appreciated more and more for what she does. 

I’M NOT SOMEONE WHO CAN BE CONTROLLED.    I WANT SOMEONE WHO WILL WATCH ME DO MY THING AND BE LIKE “THAT’S MY GIRL


6. Lady Gaga is so correct in this quote. A man should not make you choose between him and your career in the first place. She said it so right.

SOME WOMEN CHOOSE TO FOLLOW MEN, AND SOME CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS.   IF YOU’RE WONDERING WHICH WAY TO GO, REMEMBER THAT YOUR CAREER WILL NEVER WAKE UP AND TELL YOU THAT IT DOESN’T LOVE YOU ANYMORE.” – LADY GAG


7. From the moment you took the decision to become who you want to be no matter what, you became an inspiration to other girls and women out there. When you succeed your success story will start from the day you took that decision to follow your dreams.

EACH TIME A WOMAN STANDS UP FOR HERSELF, SHE STANDS UP FOR ALL WOMEN.


8. Like they say 'keep smiling and make them wonder if they even hurt you at all'. Strong women do get weak but they do so in private. And when they break down in front of others, it's to inspire them to wake up and take action. 

A STRONG WOMAN IS ONE WHO IS ABLE TO SMILE THIS MORNING LIKE SHE WASN’T CRYING LAST NIGHT.


9. Don't be afraid of failure. You will learn a lot from it. She who is afraid to fail is not willing to learn. Take the lessons dust yourself up and continue moving forward.



THINK LIKE A QUEEN. A QUEEN IS NOT AFRAID TO FAIL.  FAILURE IS ANOTHER STEPPING STONE TO GREATNESS.”  -OPRAH


10. Oprah couldn't have said it better. There is a path for everyone in life. Every girl has a dream that needs to be realized. Find yours and make your unique impact in this world. Don't carry your talents to the grave. You have deprived us so long of that God-given talent.

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


11. When a woman fails she is judged by her abilities as a woman and not as an individual. This is wrong. Even among us women, there are women who are stronger than others. We don't have the same physical and mental strength. Our abilities shouldn't be measured by gender but by our individual abilities and resistance.

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


12. Never ever let those who can't see the end of your vision discourage you. Your dream is yours. It's only you who can understand it and make the world understand it. Nobody else has to get it like you do. And when people don't understand something, they will do everything to discourage you from doing it because they just can't see what happens in the end like you do.

NEVER BE LIMITED BY PEOPLE'S LIMITED IMAGINATION.” - MAE JAMISON


13. A woman who makes her voice heard is a strong woman. Use your voice to empower others and show the world who you really are. Use your voice. Don't let the world define you as 'just a woman'. Use your voice to show them what you are made of.

A WOMAN WITH A VOICE IS BY DEFINITION A STRONG WOMAN” - MELINDA GATES


14. Stay optimistic even when the way is dark and blurry. Even when everyone tells you to quit and it really seems obvious that you should. Still, don't give up. Opportunity always shows up at the end of the dark time. Don't make yourself say 'I wish I had held on a while longer'. 

OPTIMISM IS THE FAITH THAT LEADS TO ACHIEVEMENT.NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT HOPE.” - HELLEN KELLER


15. Tough times make you stronger. When you go through the same trial twice the second time is always the easiest. If it comes back over and over again the last experience is always easier to deal with. Whatever the test you go through only makes you stronger and prepares you for greater challenges.

LIFE WILL TEST YOU BUT REMEMBER THIS; WHEN YOU WALK UP A MOUNTAIN YOUR LEGS GET STRONGER


16. Power is never given to you. You have to reach out and take it. If you want to take back the power to decide for yourself then make the decision to start making your own decisions right now. 

THE THING WOMEN HAVE GOT TO LEARN IS THAT NOBODY GIVES YOU POWER, YOU JUST TAKE IT.


17. We are strong like that. There are no excuses or obstacles anymore. Life doesn't end when we have kids. In fact, having kids is the new motivation to go out and work.

STRONG ENOUGH TO BEAR THE CHILDREN, THEN GET BACK TO BUSINESS.


18. Transform your stumbling blocks into stepping stones and reach even closer to your goals. Let nothing bring you down.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  STUMBLING BLOCKS AND STEPPING STONES IS HOW YOU USE THEM.


19. Every great achievement started with a dream either from childhood or later in life. Dream, work for it and become a woman with a vision.

LITTLE GIRLS WITH DREAMS BECOME WOMEN WITH VISION.


20. To end it all up we have the best quote from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

WE TEACH GIRLS TO SHRINK THEMSELVES, TO MAKE THEMSELVES SMALLER. WE SAY TO GIRLS: ‘YOU CAN HAVE AMBITION, BUT NOT TOO MUCH. YOU SHOULD AIM TO BE SUCCESSFUL, BUT NOT TOO SUCCESSFUL. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL THREATEN THE MAN.’ BECAUSE I AM FEMALE, I AM EXPECTED TO ASPIRE TO MARRIAGE. I AM EXPECTED TO MAKE MY LIFE CHOICES, ALWAYS KEEPING IN MIND THAT MARRIAGE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. NOW, MARRIAGE CAN BE A SOURCE OF JOY AND LOVE AND MUTUAL SUPPORT, BUT WHY DO WE TEACH GIRLS TO ASPIRE TO MARRIAGE AND WE DON’T TEACH BOYS THE SAME?” – CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE

DON'T EVER feel that you are dreaming too big because you are a woman. Dream all you want and fight all you can to make it happen. More women need to see this. Please share this with other women.
