"Be courageous, but not foolhardy. Walk proud..." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.”

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

“Never, never let a person know you're frightened. And a group of them ... absolutely never. Fear brings out the worst in everybody.”

“Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.”

“Freedom lies in being bold.”

“The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.”

“If you make a choice that goes against what everyone else thinks, the world will not fall apart.”

“If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price.”

“If you're trying too hard to be the girl next door, you're not going to be.”
