Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.

What humility does for one is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come but who may be here and needs me.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is better to control oneself, if one can, and not hit back. But on certain occasions, it is imperative to defend oneself. I don't think it's fair to ask anybody not to defend herself or himself.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I do not need to know all things. I remind myself that it is sufficient that I know what I know and know that without believing that I will always know what I know or that what I know will always be true.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I think the more we know the better we are. I mean not just facts. The more we know about each other, the closer we are to learn something about our selves.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Language. I loved it. And for a long time I would think of myself, of my whole body, as an ear.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I didn't say I liked it Harry. I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Is insincerity such a terrible thing? I think not. It is merely a method by which we can multiply our personalities.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I will not bare my soul to their shallow prying eyes. My heart shall never be put under their microscope.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Many people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined one's self over poetry is an honor.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Be not the slave of your own past – plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It was the passions about whose origin we deceived ourselves that tyrannized most strongly over us.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves we feel that no one else has a right to blame us.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
Quote by -John Wooden
“Talent is god-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.”
Quote by -John Wooden
I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
People are generally irrational, unreasonable and selfish. They deserve to be loved, anyway.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
“If I were a young coach today, I would be extremely careful in selecting assistants.”
Quote by -John Wooden
