Quote 1 from pg. 295
"Far too many church leaders have glossed over these stories and attempted to define womanhood by a list of rigid roles.  But roles are not fixed.  They are not static.  Roles come and go; they shift and they change.  They are relative to our culture and subject to changing circumstances.  It's not our roles that define us, but our character."

Quote 2 from pg. 95
 "The Proverbs 31 woman is a star not because of what she does but how she does it--with valor.  So do your thing.  If it's refurbishing old furniture--do it with valor.  If it's keeping up with your two-year-old--do it with valor.  If it's fighting against human trafficking...leading a company...or getting other people to do your work for you--do it with valor."

Quote 3 from pg. 13
during an etiquette class, and as she is getting pennies for each "contentious" thing she does or says...

"After a second glass of champagne, I was having an easier time holding my knife and fork continental-style without looking like a baby bird about to attempt flight. I'd also learned how to properly put a napkin in my lap...and accept a compliment. ...By the end of the night...
But had I achieved a gentle and quiet spirit?
The trucker who cut me off on the way home would probably have an opinion about that.  He cost me five cents."
