More quotes by Maya Angelou
Black women have not historically stood in the pulpit, but that doesn't undermine the fact that they built the churches and maintain the pulpits.
Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
I sustain myself with the love of family.
Maya Angelou
When I try to describe myself to God I say, 'Lord, remember me? Black? Female? Six-foot tall? The writer?' And I almost always get God's attention.
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
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
Maya Angelou
Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. Love - not sentimentality, not mush - but true love gives you enough courage that you can say to somebody, Don't do that, baby. And the person will know you're not preaching but teaching.
Maya Angelou
I believe what I have to say is important, and I believe the people coming to hear me are important, and so the occasion of itself alone has an importance, which forces me to stare down my nerves.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
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
In order to win, we pay with energy and effort and discipline. If we lose, we pay in disappointment, discontent, and lack of fulfillment.
Maya Angelou
My grandmother told me that every good thing I do helps some human being in the world. I believed her 50 years ago and still do.
Maya Angelou
I do not think of myself as unusually creative. I think we all come from the creator, each human being streaming with the glory. So each one of us is creative.
Maya Angelou
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.
Maya Angelou
Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.
Maya Angelou
Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.
Maya Angelou
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Maya Angelou
I'm a writer and writers either have good memories or nothing at all.
