Maya Angelou

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.

I sustain myself with the love of family.

If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

This is a wonderful day. I’ve never seen this one before.

Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, and unsurprised by anything in between.

The ache for home lives in all of us.

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.

If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future, and renders the present inaccessible.
