Quotes by Maya Angelou

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song

Achievement brings its own anticlimax

All great achievements require time

All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him
