More quotes by Maya Angelou
Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.
Maya Angelou
I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That's it. That's how you get to know who you are.
Maya Angelou
The black kids, the poor white kids, Spanish-speaking kids, and Asian kids in the US - in the face of everything to the contrary, they still bop and bump, shout and go to school somehow. Their optimism gives me hope.

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

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
To those who are given much, much is expected.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Had I not had my grandmother, who dared to be my rainbow in the clouds, I would have been just another sexually abused barefoot black girl on the roads of Arkansas.
Maya Angelou
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.
Maya Angelou
Martin Luther King was a human being with a brilliant mind, a powerful heart, and insight, and courage and also with a sense of humor. So he was accessible.
Maya Angelou
If a person - any human being - is told often enough, You are nothing. You are nothing. You account for nothing. You count for nothing. You are less than a human being. I have no visibility of you, the person finally begins to believe it.
Maya Angelou
I suggest that the great art belongs to all people, all the time--that indeed it is made for the people, by the people, to the people.
Maya Angelou
My hope is that we develop enough courage to develop courage. To try to have, try to learn to treat each other fairly, with generosity and kindness.
Maya Angelou
If you happen to fall in love with someone in another race, it's more difficult, because you have to translate yourself.
Maya Angelou
The area where we are the greatest is the area in which we inspire, encourage and connect with another human being.
Maya Angelou
