My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
Maya Angelou
To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents.
Maya Angelou
Courage - you develop courage by doing small things like just as if you wouldn't want to pick up a 100-pound weight without preparing yourself.
Maya Angelou
Because of technological breakthroughs, the society will need fewer and fewer unskilled laborers.
Maya Angelou
The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
