words to live by ...


got this from iam ... i dunno who the woman is but she imparts great wisdom with the words below.

Maya Angelou said this:
  • "I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
  • "I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
  • "I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
  • "I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
  • "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
  • "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
  • "I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
  • "I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
  • "I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back."
  • "I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
  • "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
