More quotes by Maya Angelou

Image
Remember, people will judge you by your actions not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg.
Maya Angelou
Image
jealousy is conceived only in insecurity and must be nourished in fear.
Maya Angelou
Image
The area where we are the greatest is the area in which we inspire, encourage and connect with another human being.
Maya Angelou
Image
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou
Image
I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves that we can be ready and able to come to our own defence when and wherever needed.
Maya Angelou
Image
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
Maya Angelou
Image
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
Maya Angelou
Image
I'm grateful to intelligent people. That doesn't mean educated. That doesn't mean intellectual. I mean really intelligent. What black old people used to call 'mother wit' means intelligence that you had in your mother's womb. That's what you rely on. You know what's right to do.

To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents.
Maya Angelou
Image
I made the decision to quit show business. Give up the skintight dresses and manicured smiles. The false concern over sentimental lyrics. I would never again work to make people smile inanely and would take on the responsibility of making them think.
Maya Angelou
Image
I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?

Christians already? It seems to me that it takes a lifetime of work.
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
I am capable of what every other human is capable of. This is one of the great lessons of war and life.
Maya Angelou
Image
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Maya Angelou
Image
Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.
Maya Angelou
Image
I know some people might think it odd - unworthy even - for me to have written a cookbook, but I make no apologies. The U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins thought I had demeaned myself by writing poetry for Hallmark Cards, but I am the people's poet so I write for the people.

Life loves the liver of it.

As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.

Life loves the person who dares to live it.
