Maya Angelou
This is a wonderful day, I have never seen this one before.

In order to be a mentor, and an effective one, one must care. You must care. You don't have to know how many square miles are in Idaho, you don't need to know what is the chemical makeup of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with.
Maya Angelou
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.

Maya Angelou
I, with millions of other Americans, have the same dream Martin Luther King Jr. had when I wake up I wish some of the things I dreamt would be true.

Maya Angelou
Anger is like fire. It burns all clean.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Everybody is worth everything.
Maya Angelou
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
I'm considered wise, and sometimes I see myself as knowing. Most of the time, I see myself as wanting to know. And I see myself as a very interested person. I've never been bored in my life.
Maya Angelou
There's racism and sexism and ageism and all sorts of idiocies. But bad news is not news. We've had bad news as a species for a long time. We've had slavery and human sacrifice and the holocaust and brutalities of such measure.
Maya Angelou
Because of technological breakthroughs, the society will need fewer and fewer unskilled laborers.
Maya Angelou
A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself
