Maya Angelou — "I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bit…"

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same as 'making a life.' And sometimes, making a life involves a lot more chocolate than making a living."

"I'm not a perfect friend. I'm a good friend. And I love my friends more than anything in the world."

"I believe that wisdom is the most important thing a person can have. And I believe that wisdom can guide you through life."

"I've learned that life is a roller coaster. You have to ride it, and sometimes scream a little. And maybe throw your hands up in the air."

"I'm not a politician, but I believe that all people are created equal, and that all people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect."
