More quotes by Maya Angelou
Life loves the liver of it.
Maya Angelou
Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.
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
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
Maya Angelou
Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?
Maya Angelou
I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.
Maya Angelou
No one can take the place of a friend, no one.
Maya Angelou
The Holy Spirit upon my left leads my feet without ceasing into the camp of the righteous and into the tents of the free.
Maya Angelou
I want to write so well that a person is 30 or 40 pages in a book of mine ... before she realizes she's reading.
Maya Angelou
You never get over the fear of writing.
Maya Angelou
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Maya Angelou
Life is a glorious banquet, a limitless and delicious buffet.
Maya Angelou
I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I'm a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself - all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
Maya Angelou
We are loved by Love itself. There is nothing good that we can't do.
Maya Angelou
Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.
Maya Angelou
I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.
Maya Angelou
Continue. Be loving and be strong. Be fierce and be kind. And don't give in and don't give up.'
Maya Angelou
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou
I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.
Maya Angelou
