Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.

More quotes by Maya Angelou
I'm happy to be a writer - of prose, poetry, every kind of writing. Every person in the world who isn't a recluse, hermit or mute uses words. I know of no other art form that we always use.
Maya Angelou
Precious jewel, you glow, you shine, reflecting all the good things in the world. Just look at yourself.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Don't let the man bring you down.
Maya Angelou
We really are 15 countries, and it's remarkable that each of us thinks we represent the real America. The Midwesterner in Kansas, the black American in Durham - both are certain they are the real American.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we are all teachers
Maya Angelou
The intensity with which young people live demands that they blank out as often as possible.
Maya Angelou
Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you, and look behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path!
Maya Angelou
I want to be a good human being. I'm doing my best, and I'm working at it.
Maya Angelou
All of us knows, not what is expedient, not what is going to make us popular, not what the policy is, or the company policy - but in truth each of us knows what is the right thing to do. And that's how I am guided.
Maya Angelou
