My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
- Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was raised by her grandmother in Arkansas, and it was there that she experienced racism and discrimination.
- To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
- You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise!
- Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
- We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
- It is never too late to be what you might have been.
- A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
