"At our best, we are all teachers..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Forgive yourself - no one else will.”

“We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat, so that we can know who we are.”

“I have risked everything to tell the truth. Tell the truth”

“I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.”

“It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.”

“The same is true of Love, and the instinctive desire to please those whom we love. The teacher who succeeds in getting herself loved by the pupils will obtain results which one of a more forbidding temperament finds it impossible to secure.”

“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.”

“I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.”

“Even if I'm talking about something that's negative, I look at it as putting my mistakes out there for people to learn from it.”
