Maya Angelou
I was raped when I was very young. I told my brother the name of the person who had done it. Within a few days the man was killed. In my child's mind--seven and a half years old--I thought my voice had killed him. So I stopped talking for five years.
Maya Angelou
You build your 'COURAGE MUSCLE' daily, by being courageous in little things. Just do right.
Maya Angelou
Life loves the person who dares to live it.
Maya Angelou
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
