"Courage allows the successful woman to fail..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“I know, that since life is our most precious gift, and as far as we can be absolutely certain, it's given to us to live but once, let us so live we will not regret years of useless virtue, and inertia, and timidity, and ignorance, and in our last moments we can say: 'All my life, all my conscious energies, have been dedicated to the most noble cause in the world, the liberation of the human mind and spirit - beginning with my own'.”

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

We need all methods of art to be present, everywhere present, and all the time present.”

“Why should we fear to be crushed by savage elements, we who are made up of the same elements?”

“I thought if I could face the worst danger voluntarily, and triumph, I would forever have power over it.”

“Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.”

“A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.”

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.”
