"Look what you've already come through! Don't..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Courage - you develop courage by doing small things like just as if you wouldn't want to pick up a 100-pound weight without preparing yourself.”

“Because of our routines we forget that life is an ongoing adventure.”

“If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.”

“No one knows what capacities for doing and suffering he has in himself, until something comes to rouse them to activity: just as in a pond of still water, lying there like a mirror, there is no sign of the roar and thunder with which it can leap from the precipice, and yet remain what it is; or again, rise high in the air as a fountain. When water is as cold as ice, you can have no idea of the latent warmth contained in it.”

“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”

“The most sublime courage I have ever witnessed has been among that class too poor to know they possessed it, and too humble for the world to discover it.”

“To me the thought of oneself as low and humble is a sin and ignorance.”

“Courage is the best slayer - courage which attacketh, for in every attack there is the sound of triumph.”

“One isn't born with courage. One develops it by doing small courageous things-in the way that if one sets out to pick up a 100-pound bag of rice, one would be advised to start with a five-pound bag, then 10 pounds, then 20 pounds, and so forth, until one builds up enough muscle to lift the 100-pound bag. It's the same way with courage. You do small courageous things that require some mental and spiritual exertion.”
