Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
I'm a serious aficionada of country music - Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry. I've even written some songs. They haven't done anything of mine yet. But it's only a matter of time.
Maya Angelou
We must create a climate where people agree that human beings are more alike than unalike. The only way to do that is through education.
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
Hope is born again in the faces of children.
Maya Angelou
Let us live so we do not regret years of inertia and ignorance, so when we die we can say all of our energy was dedicated to the noble liberation of the human mind and spirit, beginning with my own.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Love liberates. Love - not sentimentality, not mush - but true love gives you enough courage that you can say to somebody, Don't do that, baby. And the person will know you're not preaching but teaching.
Maya Angelou
When I try to describe myself to God I say, 'Lord, remember me? Black? Female? Six-foot tall? The writer?' And I almost always get God's attention.
Maya Angelou
Be certain that you do not die without having done something wonderful for humanity.
Maya Angelou
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage to trust that courage and build bridges with it to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.
Maya Angelou
Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere, yet I encourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as pleasure.
Maya Angelou
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
Courage, I don't think anybody is born with courage. I think you may be born with a flair to braggadocio, you know. That's not courage.
Maya Angelou
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
Everything costs and costs the earth.
Maya Angelou
