More quotes by Maya Angelou
Tell the truth and not the facts.
Maya Angelou
It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.
Maya Angelou
The world had taken a deep breath and was having doubts about continuing to revolve.
Maya Angelou
In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.
Maya Angelou
Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.
Maya Angelou
In the fifties, you have your beauty as a treat. I thought that until I hit the sixties.In your sixties, life decides to reward you with certain kinds of profound appreciation, so that people name their children and schools and libraries after you! And you still have your sexuality and your sensuality. If you want your sexuality, you still have it.
Maya Angelou
To be angry is very good. It burns out things and leaves nutrients in the soil. You should always be ready to be angry at injustice and cruelty.
Maya Angelou
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
Maya Angelou
A mother's love liberates.
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
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Maya Angelou
Raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
Maya Angelou
I get up in the morning, and I'm reluctant to turn on the television.
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
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
Education is a process that goes on 'til death. The moment you see someone who knows she has found the one true way, and can call all the others false, then you know you're in the company of an ignoramus.
Maya Angelou
Easy reading is damn hard writing. But if it's right, it's easy. It's the other way round, too. If it's slovenly written, then it's hard to read. It doesn't give the reader what the careful writer can give the reader.
Maya Angelou
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
Maya Angelou
When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind.
Maya Angelou
