Who said: "trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself and be yourself"

Was it (a) educator Marva Collins:

Alumna Marva Collins would remind you to “trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself...and be yourself. Imitation,” she also would remind you, “is suicide.”

(and attributed to her in 2008 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/53191-marva-collins-the-outstanding-educator , and earlier)

or was it (b) Melania Trump in 2012:

Always trust yourself, think for yourself, act for yourself, speak for yourself. Be yourself!
