Maya Angelou
Precious jewel, you glow, you shine, reflecting all the good things in the world. Just look at yourself.

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I was raped when I was very young. I told my brother the name of the person who had done it. Within a few days the man was killed. In my child's mind--seven and a half years old--I thought my voice had killed him. So I stopped talking for five years.
Maya Angelou
Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice.
Maya Angelou
Try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity.
Maya Angelou
I do not need to know all things. I remind myself that it is sufficient that I know what I know and know that without believing that I will always know what I know or that what I know will always be true.
Maya Angelou
My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.
Maya Angelou
My great blessing is my son, but I have daughters. I have white ones and Black ones and fat ones and thin ones and pretty ones and plain. I have gay ones and straight. I have daughters. I have Asian ones, I have Jewish ones, I have Muslim ones.
