More quotes by Maya Angelou
The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.
Maya Angelou
We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.
Maya Angelou
When it looks like the sun isn't going to shine any more, God puts a rainbow in the clouds. Each one of us has the possibility, the responsibility, the probability to be the rainbow in the clouds.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.

Maya Angelou
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud. Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud. Peace.
Maya Angelou
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
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
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
When was the last time anyone ever told you how important you are?
Maya Angelou
I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
Maya Angelou
We can only know where we're going if we know where we've been.
Maya Angelou
A leader sees greatness in other people. He nor she can be much of a leader if all she sees is herself.
Maya Angelou
You can never go home again, but the truth is you can never leave home, so it's all right.
Maya Angelou
If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.
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
Age is nothing waking up is everything.
Maya Angelou
