Whenever I'm around some who is modest, I think, 'Run like hell and all of fire.' You don't want modesty, you want humility.
Maya Angelou
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou
We can be better, we can be wiser, we can be more kind. Yes we have to change. We have to grow up and stop acting like 10 years old. Yes there is much to do, much to see, much to go into.
Maya Angelou
Precious jewel, you glow, you shine, reflecting all the good things in the world. Just look at yourself.

Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.
Maya Angelou
I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going. I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment. I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.
Maya Angelou
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them.
Maya Angelou
It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.
Maya Angelou
You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.
Maya Angelou
I find in my poetry and prose the rhythms and imagery of the best - I mean, when I'm at my best - of the good Southern black preachers. The lyricism of the spirituals and the directness of gospel songs and the mystery of blues are in my music or in my poetry and prose, or I missed everything.
Maya Angelou
Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.
Maya Angelou
To those who have given up on love: I say, Trust life a little bit.
Maya Angelou
In order to be profoundly dishonest, a person must have one of two qualities: either he is unscrupulously ambitious, or he is unswervingly egocentric.
Maya Angelou
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.
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
My son is the best thing that ever happened to me. And through me - to a lot of people.
Maya Angelou
We are not our brother’s keeper we are our brother and we are our sister. We must look past complexion and see community.
