"Courage - you develop courage by doing..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Don't get older just to get wiser. If you get older, you will be wiser, I believe that - if you dare. But get older because it's fun!”

“The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.”

“We need much less than we think we need.”

“To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage, or of principle.”

“My call is the call of battle- I nourish active rebellion;/ He going with me must go well armed.”

“Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.”

“By improving yourself, the world is made better. Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid only of standing still.”

“Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don't live in a perfect world.”

“We must make automatic and habitual, as early as possible, as many useful actions as we can...in the acquisition of a new habit, we must take car to launch ourselves with as strong and decided initiative as possible. Never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life.”
