Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second woman to ever serve on the Supreme Court of the United States of America, inspired mass people with her quotes in her career as a justice for 27 years.
This iconic and inspirational woman died at the age of 87 on September 18 due to complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Hailed as a feminist icon, Ginsburg is described as ‘a tireless and resolute champion of justice’ by the US Chief Justice John Roberts.
Ginsburg, nicknamed as Kiki, has motivated and impacted many with her memorable quotes of which some are put below :
On Difficulties : ‘So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great, good fortune.’
On Freedom and Independence : ‘My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.’
On Emotions : ‘Don’t be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment. These just zap energy and waste time.’
On Equality : ‘Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.’
On Status of Women : ‘Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.’
On Life-Partner : ‘If you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it. I had a life partner who thought my work was as important as his, and I think that made all the difference for me.’
