I always knew from that moment, from the time I found myself at home in that little segregated library in the South, all the way up until I walked up the steps of the New York City library, I always felt, in any town, if I can get to a library, I'll be okay. It really helped me as a child, and that never left me. So I have a special place for every library, in my heart of hearts.

There is no place where God is not.

I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.

'God put the rainbow in the clouds, not just in the sky'... It is wise to realize we already have rainbows in our clouds, or we wouldn't be here. If the rainbow is in the clouds, then in the worst of time, there is the possibility of seeing hope... We can say 'I can be a rainbow in the cloud for someone yet to be.' That may be our calling.

Live life as if it were created just for you.

You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.

A leader sees greatness in other people. He nor she can be much of a leader if all she sees is herself.
