NUGGETS OF WISDOM - 592

 

  • ·       “I was told many years ago by my grandmother who raised me: if somebody puts you on a road and you don’t feel comfortable on it and you look ahead and you don’t like the destination and you look behind and you don’t want to return to that place, step off the road.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else. I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can’t ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won’t stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you’d be surprised that people say, ‘Can I be of help?'” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “If one has courage, nothing can dim the light which shines from within.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity, is daring to dare.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “To develop courage, you have to start developing courage as you do any other muscle. You have to start with small things and build it up.” - Maya Angelou

    ·       “One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” - Maya Angelou
