“The library was one more essential in the parade of rooms in a big 18th-century house - and part of the required kit ever afterwards.

“The most important thing regardless of my stats or anybody else's stats is the win-loss record. In the locker room people are always telling me, you're doing this and that. I don't really pay that much attention so long as we have a 'W' in that column; that's the kind of thing that makes me really happy. It blows all stats out of the water.” PeopleKindLongImportantWinningWaterLossRoomsPayAttentionRecordsImportant ThingsBlowColumnsReally HappyLockersLocker Room Author:Dhani Jones
“Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don’t understand but something I’m able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.” KnowsI CanImportantHelpingUseLightAbleRoomsCreativityMysteryTalentJudgmentRemainsImportant ThingsElectricityCathedralsLight UpHarnessPlugsSave A LifeSynagogueOperating Room Author:Maya Angelou

“The most important thing I can teach my kids is that you can't put your value in looks. Presence is based upon magnitude. You can pretend to have an air about you but it is quickly deflated, you cannot deflate presence. Presence walks into a room and surrounds and fills anything that's in that room without trying to demand it, it takes over. It can come from a smile. Like I said, love makes you beautiful.

“Self-defense is so important to know in today's society. It's not just that you might get mugged. It's more for confidence. It's the way you hold yourself when you walk into a room.
