"When you learn, teach, when you get,..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“I have risked everything to tell the truth. Tell the truth”

“The truth will lead me to all.”

“There is a lot of ignorance, and I don't mean intellectual ignorance. I mean people think that if you get something, it will take away from what I have. It's just ignorance.”

“We do not learn much from learned books, but from true, sincere, human books, from frank and honest biographies.”

“Education gives you neither experience nor wisdom.”

“I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake.”

“Your magnificence has made me a wonder. Your charm has taught me the way of love.”

“Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.... The real job of every moral teacher is to keep on bringing us back, time after time, to the old simple principles which we are all so anxious not to see; like bringing a horse back and back to the fence it has refused to jump or bringing a child back and back to the bit in its lesson that it wants to shirk.”

“I think we have to go through everything we go through in our life, and I believe my purpose in life was to teach self-reliance. So I had the experience of relying on myself very early in life in order to have that knowing, because otherwise I would've just read about it. I think of it now as a great advantage that I had. It certainly taught me to rely upon myself at a very young age. And that's what I've been teaching since I was a little boy.”
