I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Maya Angelou
If our children are to approve of themselves, they must see that we approve of ourselves.
Maya Angelou
I would be stupid not to be on my own side. But I'm a human being, too. And I'm on the side of human beings, rather than on the side of crocodiles.
