"The children to whom we read simple..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Whenever I'm around some who is modest, I think, 'Run like hell and all of fire.' You don't want modesty, you want humility.”

“Each child belongs to all of us and they will bring us a tomorrow in direct relation to the responsibility we have shown to them.”

“The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.”

“Never resist a generous impulse.”

“Make yourself a priority. Fill yourself up so that you can give more to others.”

“Men are rich only as they give. He who gives great service gets great rewards.”

“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”

“Some day there will have to be some new rules established about name-calling. I don't mean the routine cursing that goes on between husband and wife, but the naming of defenseless, unsuspecting babies.”

“But from the perspective of the aging parent, there is no major difference between four and fifteen, except that when your child is four, his motoring privileges are restricted to little toy Fisher-Price vehicles which are unlikely (although I would not totally rule it out in America) to sue you.”
