"Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.”

“A mother's love liberates.”

“We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.”

“Search, no matter what situation you are in. O thirsty one, search for water constantly. Finally, the time will come when you will reach the spring.”

“Constancy of purpose is the first principle of success.”

“As soon as error is corrected, it is important that the error be forgotten and only the successful attempts be remembered. Errors, mistakes, and humiliations are all necessary steps in the learning process. Once they have served their purpose, they should be forgotten. If we constantly dwell upon the errors, then the error or failure becomes the goal.”

“The fact that I didn't finish school left me with a lifelong need to prove that I'm smart, prove it to myself, maybe to the world. I [also] needed to be - not the center of attention - but I needed to be able to attract attention when I wanted it, through my stunts and my fooling around physically with faces or postures or voices I would do. Those things are important elements in the drive behind all of this [my career].”

“Perfection is one thing and enjoyment another; these two having different ends, engage men differently.”

“Arise! Awake! and stop not until the goal is reached.”
