Maya Angelou
Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?
Maya Angelou
When the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one - it's the first blow in a suicidal movement.
Maya Angelou
The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.
Maya Angelou
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, without it, you can practice no other.
Maya Angelou
