Maya Angelou

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

When you learn, teach. When you get, give.

There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

If someone tells you who they are, believe them.

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou - Quoting a lyric by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know why the caged bird sings.

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.

You may encounter defeats, but you must not be defeated.

Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

- Maya Angelou
