Education equity activist. Youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. Inspiration to girls across the globe. On Friday, Malala Yousafzai turned 22, and today we celebrate all she has accomplished and all she is committed to achieving. Here are some of our favorite words of wisdom from Malala to get you through the week:

“I raise up my voice-not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard.”

 

“If one man can destroy everything, why can’t one girl change it?”

 

“I don’t want to be thought of as the ‘girl who was shot by the Taliban’ but the ‘girl who fought for education.’ This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.”

 

“Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow’s reality.”

 

“There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a third power stronger than both, that of women.”
