originally called International Working Women’s Day is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women. In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements.
This is a great day for women but I’m not ashamed to admit that a few years ago I used the day to get chocolate from the men in the office at the Public Works Dept. where I worked at the time…at first they didn’t believe me there was such a day…though by the time we got back from the lunch all the ladies had a Reese Peanut Butter Cup on their desks.
Here are some quotes that celebrate woman!
"Women are the real architects of society." ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
"If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman." ~ Margaret Thatcher
"The fastest way to change society is to mobilize the women of the world." ~ Charles Malik
"Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition." ~ Timothy Leary
"Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." ~Charlotte Whitton
"Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. ~Author Unknown
I love these quotes - they made me laugh out loud. And you should never apologize for trying to get chocolate!!
