More quotes by Maya Angelou

You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.

At our best, we're all teachers
Maya Angelou
Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?
Maya Angelou
Money and power can liberate only if they are used to do so. They can imprison and inhibit more finally than barred windows and iron chains.
Maya Angelou
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
Maya Angelou
The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you - black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.
