More quotes by Maya Angelou
I suggest that the great art belongs to all people, all the time--that indeed it is made for the people, by the people, to the people.
Maya Angelou
The desire to reach hearts is wise
Maya Angelou
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
Maya Angelou
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
Maya Angelou
You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.

Maya Angelou
I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy. If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
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
Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Maya Angelou
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
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.
Maya Angelou
Nobody can enjoy unless we all enjoy, truly enjoy.
Maya Angelou
Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken our way. It is a matter of choice.
Maya Angelou
It's true. I can do anything and do it well because God loves me. It still humbles me.
Maya Angelou
I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
Maya Angelou
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou
Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.
Maya Angelou
