Maya Angelou Quotes, Love Quotes, Morning Quotes

We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.

That is part of the responsibility - and it's hard.
