Happy Black History Month!!
Today we honor Dr. Maya Angelou; writer, poet, leader, activist.
The following are a collection of her quotes. Her wisdom is too numerous to count, please forgive this condensed list.
"All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened."
"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
"It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength."
"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
"Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence - neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish - it is an imponderably valuable gift."
"Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning."
"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."
"When you know better, you do better."
"Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope."
