Maya Angelou
You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.
Maya Angelou
Life loves the person who dares to live it.
Maya Angelou
Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
Maya Angelou
In order to be a mentor, and an effective one, one must care. You must care. You don't have to know how many square miles are in Idaho, you don't need to know what is the chemical makeup of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with.
Maya Angelou
Everyone grows old but not everyone grows up.
Maya Angelou
I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment.
