"I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation...." - Quote by Maya Angelou

“Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.”

“I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.”

“No sun outlasts its sunset, but will rise again and bring the dawn.”

“Don't be afraid of change, because it is leading you to a new beginning.”

“Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning.”

“People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”

“I dream a world... where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind. Of such I dream, my world!”

“We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.”

“We recall the joy and excitement of a nation that had found itself, the collective relief that we had stepped out of our restrictive past, and the expectant air of walking into a brighter future.”
