More quotes by Maya Angelou
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
Maya Angelou
During bad circumstances, which is the human inheritance, you must decide not to be reduced. You have your humanity, and you must not allow anything to reduce that. We are obliged to know we are global citizens. Disasters remind us we are world citizens, whether we like it or not.
Maya Angelou
I'm a descendant of someone bought and sold, and brought in 1619 in what was to become the United States.
Maya Angelou
It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.
Maya Angelou
Forgive yourself - no one else will.
Maya Angelou
I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults. But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.
Maya Angelou
In order to be profoundly dishonest, a person must have one of two qualities: either he is unscrupulously ambitious, or he is unswervingly egocentric.
Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.
Maya Angelou
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise. Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise.
Maya Angelou
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Maya Angelou
I've had people explain to me what one of my poems meant, and I've been surprised that it means that to them. If a person can use a poem of mine to interpret her life or his life, good. I can't control that. Nor would I want to.
Maya Angelou
Continue to be bold, courageous. Try to choose the wisest thing and once you've chosen the wisest thing go out and try to achieve it. Be it.
Maya Angelou
Poetry gave me back my voice.
Maya Angelou
If more Africans had eaten missionaries, the continent would be in better shape.
Maya Angelou
There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in Black women. It's as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet.
Maya Angelou
Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.
Maya Angelou
There is an amazing something in the American psyche which speaks about courage, and it says, 'Yes I can,' ... Yes, we will overcome it all because we have the spirit to do so.
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise.
Maya Angelou
