Maya Angelou
If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world?
Maya Angelou
Even here in America, we felt the cool, refreshing breeze of freedom when Nelson Mandela took the seat of Presidency in his country where formerly he was not even allowed to vote. We were enlarged by tears of pride as we saw Nelson Mandela's former prison guards invited, courteously, by him to watch from the front rows his inauguration.
Maya Angelou
Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone

Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. We come from the Creator with creativity. I think that each one of us is born with creativity.
