Maya Angelou
All great acheivements require time.
Maya Angelou
I, with millions of other Americans, have the same dream Martin Luther King Jr. had when I wake up I wish some of the things I dreamt would be true. I wish that little black and white boys and girls would hold hands without being shocked at their nearness to each other and say in a natural way, we have overcome.
Maya Angelou
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
Maya Angelou

If we don't plant the right things, we will reap the wrong things. It goes without saying. And you don't have to be, you know, a brilliant biochemist and you don't have to have an IQ of 150. Just common sense tells you to be kind, ninny, fool. Be kind.
Maya Angelou
Therefore we pledge to bind ourselves to one another, to embrace our lowliest, to keep company with our loneliest, to educate our illiterate, to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged, to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our brothers and sisters. We are our brothers and sisters
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Maya Angelou
Be courageous, but not foolhardy. Walk proud as you are.
Maya Angelou
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Maya Angelou
The truth brings the past into the present and prepares us for the future. That's what truth does
Maya Angelou
Take a day to heal from the lies you've told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.
Maya Angelou
I wasn't a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya Angelou
