We constantly tell girls — be it our daughters, nieces, or a friend's child — that they're beautiful, smart, sweet, and more. But for some reason, our commentary is often met with eye rolls and doubt. In today's world of online bullies and mean girls [1], it's important that all the ladies in our life know just how amazing they are, even if it means bringing in some extra reinforcement. From the sweet to the sappy to the simple, there are plenty of quotes meant to instill power in your little girl. Here, our favorite words of wisdom turned into amazing works of art.
