I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Maya AngelouI'm interested in women's health because I'm a woman. I'd be a darn fool not to be on my own side.
Maya AngelouCourage, I don't think anybody is born with courage. I think you may be born with a flair to braggadocio, you know. That's not courage.

Maya AngelouI am convinced that courage is the most important of all the virtues. Because without courage, you cannot practice any other virtue consistently. You can be kind for a while; you can be generous for a while; you can be just for a while, or merciful for a while, even loving for a while. But it is only with courage that you can be persistently and insistently kind and generous and fair.
