More quotes by Maya Angelou
I never have written every day. When I'm writing a book, I write Monday through Friday. I always try to take Saturday and pretend to have some sanity.
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self.
Maya Angelou
Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence neither speed up nor slow down add to nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift.
Maya Angelou
Easy reading is damn hard writing. But if it's right, it's easy. It's the other way round, too. If it's slovenly written, then it's hard to read. It doesn't give the reader what the careful writer can give the reader.
Maya Angelou
I have heard it said that winter, too, will pass, that spring is a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we're all teachers
Maya Angelou
All of my history as an African-American woman, as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman. I'm bringing everything I ever knew, and all the stories I've read - everything good, strong, kind and powerful. I bring it all with me into every situation, and I will not allow my life to be minimized by anybody's racism or sexism or ageism.
Maya Angelou
We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
Maya Angelou
In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
Maya Angelou
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
Maya Angelou
Spirit is an invisible force made visible in all life.
Maya Angelou
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.
Maya Angelou
Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Maya Angelou
I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.
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
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
Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.
Maya Angelou
