Some days you just need an inspirational quote to motivate your passion to defend dignity, love, and family. Whether it’s a day you are on fire for the movement to end sexual exploitation, or a day when you are discouraged, reflecting on positive and encouraging thoughts always seems to make my day just a little brighter.
So, without further ado….
Here are 10 of my personal favorite inspirational quotes!
“Let it not be said that I was silent when they needed me.”

“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
– C.S. Lewis
“I said ‘Somebody should do something about that.’ Then I realized I am somebody.”

– Leymah Gbowee
“If we wait until we’re ready we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.”
– Lemony Snicket
“All of our humanity is dependent upon recognizing the humanity in others.”

I hope you’ve enjoyed these quotes as much as I have! We are in the midst of a very hopeful time. I am constantly inspired not only by the value of this work but also by the support given to NCOSE by you members of this movement. Thank you!
