More quotes by Maya Angelou
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
Dr. [Martin Luther] King was a human being. He had a sense of humor which was wonderful.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.
Maya Angelou
You may not remember what a person said to you, you may not remember what a person did to you, but you will never forget how a person made you feel!
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
Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Maya Angelou
Only equals make friends, every other relationship is contrived and off balance.
Maya Angelou
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
I want to be a good human being. I'm doing my best, and I'm working at it.
Maya Angelou
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Maya Angelou
Tell the truth and not the facts.
Maya Angelou
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated, you could fail without being a failure. When you see failure and defeats as merely part of the process to get to when.
Maya Angelou
