More quotes by Maya Angelou

When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
Maya Angelou
People trying to separate people rather than bring us together... please. You don't just see it in America. It's all over the world.
