Great Quotations - Maya Angelou

I have written a book on How to be the Best man, including quotations.
I am constantly hearing more. Here is one I heard recently.

Maya Angelou's comment is rather long. But the ending with umbrella is memorable.

'Without defeats, how do you really know who the hell you are? If you never had to stand up to something - to get up, to be knocked down, and to get up again - life can walk over you wearing football cleats. But each time you do get up, you're bigger, taller, finer, more beautiful, more kind, more understanding, more loving. Each time you get up, you're more inclusive. More people can stand under your umbrella.' - Maya Angelou

Like being the rainbow in someone else's sky, you can be the umbrella.
