"Prepare yourself so that you can be..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“In order to win, we pay with energy and effort and discipline. If we lose, we pay in disappointment, discontent, and lack of fulfillment.”

“When I passed forty I dropped pretense, 'cause men like women who got some sense.”

“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!”

“Real living is living for others.”

“Disturbers are to be rebuked, the low spirited to be encouraged, the infirm to be supported, objectors confuted, the treacherous guarded against, the unskilled taught, the lazy aroused, the contentious restrained, the haughty repressed, the poor relieved, the oppressed liberated, the good approved, the evil borne with, and all are to be loved!”

“The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.”

“Kindness is produced by kindness.”

“Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.”

“Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
