Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.

More quotes by Maya Angelou
Mostly, what I have learned so far about aging, despite the creakiness of one's bones and cragginess of one's once-silken skin, is this: Do it. By all means, do it.
Maya Angelou
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Maya Angelou
The plague of racism is insidious, entering into our minds as smoothly and quietly and invisibly as floating airborne microbes enter into our bodies to find lifelong purchase in our bloodstreams.
Maya Angelou
Joy is a freedom. It helps a person to find his/her own liberation. The person who is joyous takes responsibility for the time he/she takes up and the space that he/she occupies. You share it! Some of you have it ... you share it! That is what joy is! When you continue to give it away you will still have so much more of it.
Maya Angelou
And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
Maya Angelou
We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
Maya Angelou
If more Africans had eaten missionaries, the continent would be in better shape.
Maya Angelou
Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
I had to trust life and believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.
Maya Angelou
Without willing it, I had gone from being ignorant of being ignorant to being aware of being aware. And the worst part of my awareness was that I didn't know what I was aware of. I knew I knew very little, but I was certain that the things I had yet to learn wouldn't be taught to me at George Washington High School.
Maya Angelou
Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.
Maya Angelou
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was indulgent never. Kind, yes, permissive, never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.
Maya Angelou
Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.
Maya Angelou
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Maya Angelou
A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again.
Maya Angelou
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.
