Maya Angelou
I, with millions of other Americans, have the same dream Martin Luther King Jr. had when I wake up I wish some of the things I dreamt would be true.

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 refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.
Maya Angelou
Poetry gave me back my voice.
Maya Angelou
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
Maya Angelou
I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.
Maya Angelou
Success is loving life and daring to live it.
