It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

Additional quotes by Maya Angelou

The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.
