It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” As well as, “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

American writer and civil rights activist Maya Angelou left an enduring legacy in the world of literature. Pocket Maya Angelou Wisdom is a collection of some of her best quotes on love, self-empowerment, and identity.

These just zap energy and waste time.”
