More quotes by Maya Angelou
Nobody can enjoy unless we all enjoy, truly enjoy.
Maya Angelou
Cooking certain dishes, like roast pork, reminds me of my mother.
Maya Angelou
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
I am a child of God. I always carry that with me.
Maya Angelou
I know that I'm not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don't know how not to.
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
I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, Can I be of help?.
Maya Angelou
I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
The desire to reach hearts is wise
Maya Angelou
Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
Strong women- precious jewels all- their humanness is evident in their accessibility. We are able to enter into the spirit of these women and rejoice in their warmth and courage.
Maya Angelou
I have need of a friend. There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body's mend. And that one is my love.
Maya Angelou
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
We grow despite the horror that we feed upon our own tomorrow. We grow.
Maya Angelou
Effective action is always unjust.
Maya Angelou
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style.
Maya Angelou
I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.
Maya Angelou
If you're for the right thing, you do it without thinking.
Maya Angelou
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.
Maya Angelou
