More quotes by Maya Angelou
The truth brings the past into the present and prepares us for the future. That's what truth does
Maya Angelou
There's a place in you that you must keep inviolate. You must keep it pristine. Clean. So that nobody has a right to curse you or treat you badly. Nobody. No mother, father, no wife, no husband, no-nobody. You have to have a place where you say: 'Stop it. Back up. Don't you know I'm a child of God?
Maya Angelou
The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
Maya Angelou
People will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
The first thing I do in the morning when I awaken is say, 'Thank you, Lord!' I'm grateful to be alive, and I'm going to try to tell the truth as well as I know and tell it as eloquently as I can so that people can hear it.
Maya Angelou
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people - one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion's den. You can't just play around with all those big cats - you've got to take somebody on.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
Maya Angelou
I am the dream and the hope of the slave
Maya Angelou
We need to not be in denial about what we've done, what we've come through. It will help us if we all do that.
Maya Angelou
All riddles are blues, / And all blues are sad, / And I'm only mentioning / Some blues I've had.
Maya Angelou
There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.
Maya Angelou
When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
Maya Angelou
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou
As a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. They may not remember your name but they will never forget the way you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
To take a few nouns, and a few pronouns, and adverbs and adjectives, and put them together, ball them up, and throw them against the wall to make them bounce. That's what Norman Mailer did. That's what James Baldwin did, and Joan Didion did, and that's what I do - that's what I mean to do.
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
The intensity with which young people live demands that they blank out as often as possible.
Maya Angelou
