More quotes by Maya Angelou
Everything costs and costs the earth.
Maya Angelou
The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It's under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic.
Maya Angelou
When things were very bad his soul just crawled behind his heart and curled up and went to sleep
Maya Angelou
We grow despite the horror that we feed upon our own tomorrow. We grow.
Maya Angelou
Had I not had my grandmother, who dared to be my rainbow in the clouds, I would have been just another sexually abused barefoot black girl on the roads of Arkansas.
Maya Angelou
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.
Maya Angelou
Look heavenward and speak the word aloud. Peace. We look at our world and speak the word aloud. Peace.
Maya Angelou
I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
Maya Angelou
There's racism and sexism and ageism and all sorts of idiocies. But bad news is not news. We've had bad news as a species for a long time. We've had slavery and human sacrifice and the holocaust and brutalities of such measure.
Maya Angelou
It is better to control oneself, if one can, and not hit back. But on certain occasions, it is imperative to defend oneself. I don't think it's fair to ask anybody not to defend herself or himself.
Maya Angelou
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.
Maya Angelou
She comprehended the perversity of life, that in the struggle lies the joy.
Maya Angelou
To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision.
Maya Angelou
Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.
Maya Angelou
A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
What I think it really means is: I'm a teacher. I am a teacher. I teach all the time, as you do and as all of you do-whether we know it or not, whether we take responsibility for it or not. I hold nothing back because I want to see that light go off. I like to see the children say, 'I never thought of that before.' And I think, 'I've got them!'
Maya Angelou
Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
