More quotes by Maya Angelou
There is a spirit in all music, the spirit has the ability to conjure up thoughts even pictures of something that happened or you wished would happen or you anticipate happening. Music has the ability to create ideas in you and me. It has the ability to encourage us to be creative.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.
Maya Angelou
I speak a number of languages, but none are more beautiful to me than English.
Maya Angelou
Most plain girls are virtuous because of the scarcity of opportunity to be otherwise.
Maya Angelou
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou
jealousy is conceived only in insecurity and must be nourished in fear.
Maya Angelou
Courage allows the successful woman to fail - and to learn powerful lessons from the failure - so that in the end, she didn't fail at all.
Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.
