More quotes by Maya Angelou
It's amazing. I can do anything. And do it well. Any good thing, I can do it. That's why I am who I am, yes, because God loves me and I'm amazed at it. I'm grateful for it.
Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.
Maya Angelou
We cannot change the past, but we can change our attitude toward it. Uproot guilt and plant forgiveness. Tear out arrogance and seed humility. Exchange love for hate - thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
When I forgive other people, I let them go, I free them from my ignorance. And as soon as I do, I feel lighter, brighter and better.
Maya Angelou
Age is nothing waking up is everything.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
Maya Angelou
If you're for the right thing, you do it without thinking.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
Maya Angelou
Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake.
Maya Angelou
Everybody in the world wants the same thing...to be needed...a job that he/she can do well...to love somebody...Everybody...There's no mystery.
Maya Angelou
Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.
Maya Angelou
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
Maya Angelou
People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.
Maya Angelou
Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.
Maya Angelou
