Let me tell so much truth. I want to tell the truth in my work. The truth will lead me to all.
Maya Angelou
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.

People have to feel needed. Frequently, we just offer a job and 'perks.' We don't always offer people a purpose. When people feel there is a purpose and that they're needed, there's not much else to do except let them do the work.
Maya Angelou
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them.

Maya Angelou
Therefore we pledge to bind ourselves to one another, to embrace our lowliest, to keep company with our loneliest, to educate our illiterate, to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged, to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our brothers and sisters. We are our brothers and sisters
Maya Angelou
To those who are given much, much is expected.
Maya Angelou
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou
Whenever something went wrong when I was young - if I had a pimple or if my hair broke - my mom would say, 'Sister mine, I'm going to make you some soup.' And I really thought the soup would make my pimple go away or my hair stronger.
Maya Angelou
In a long meter hymn, a singer - they call it 'lays out a line.' And then the whole church joins in in repeating that line. And they form a wall of harmony so tight, you can't wedge a pin between it.
Maya Angelou
Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents.
Maya Angelou
The country didn't get that way in a week we've had years and years of getting behind in our economy. So President [Barack] Obama stepped into a hellhole and people wanted him to change it as soon as he came in. But he's got his adversaries to deal with in the House and Senate, so it's not easy.
