Faith is the evidence of the unseen. - Maya Angelou

There is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the person has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

A woman who is convinced that she deserves to accept only the best challenges herself to give the best. Then she is living phenomenally.

That day, I learned that I could be a giver simply by bringing a smile to another person. The ensuing years have taught me that a kind word or a vote of support can be a charitable gift. I can move over and make another place for another to sit. I can turn my music up if it pleases, or down if it is annoying. I may never be known as a philanthropist, but I certainly want to be known as charitable.
