Author of quotes: Maya Angelou

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.

Me you can defame,
I lie in vain not afraid,
Even in the dirt I trample -
Like dust, I'll rise up again.
<...>
I like the rush in a rush proud
Like the sun that dispel sadness,
As the month over cold fjord,
Vospryanuv spirit, will rise.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
<...>
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Nothing can overshadow the light coming from the soul.

Terencius wrote: "I'm a man, and nothing human is alien to me". If you are at least partially learn these, you can never tell about the crime: "I wouldn't have done." No matter how heinous, was not a crime if it was committed by the person, we should say: "In me what there is in it; I intend to use your powers for good, not harm." If you can say this about the bad, just imagine what will happen if you say that about good; if a man dreams of the great, dare to love someone, if the person dares to be Martin Luther king, Mother Teresa or Malcolm X, if a person overcomes the conditions in which he was born, that means you can too, so you can try to become wider.

I have to be humble, but not modest. Modesty is a sham. It is very dangerous. Modesty sticks to people like a decal, and they say, "I need nothing". This is very dangerous, because once humble man cornered, modesty it will fly off, and reveal its true character and it will be very unexpected and very embarrassed. I pray for the humility and the understanding that there is something greater than me.

Justice may not be profitable may not be profitable, but will delight your soul. She will protect you like none of the bodyguards. Try to be as good of a person as possible. Do it because it's right. People will recognize you and will pray for you, wish you well, and if your name is mentioned with the words "God forbid", I think you are doing something wrong. But if people look back you say: "She's so good, so sweet, love her, God bless her" is good. So try to live so that not to regret the years of lost virtue, inaction and indecision. Join the fight. take on the challenge. It's yours. It's your life and your world. You make your own choices. You can decide that life has no meaning, and it is the worst thing you will do. How do you know?
Now.
Try. See. Make the world a better place. Where you are. It can and must be better. The case for us.

Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
Never raise someone for whom you only one option.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
