My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.
- Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri.
- Conquering the world on horseback is easy; it is dismounting and governing that is hard.
-
Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
- As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest form of appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
- My favorite things in life don’t cost any money. It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.
- Life is never easy. There is work to be done and obligations to be met – obligations to truth, to justice, and to liberty.
- Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us, and the world will be as one.
- I would rather lose a good earring than be caught without make-up.
