More quotes by Maya Angelou
We really are 15 countries, and it's remarkable that each of us thinks we represent the real America. The Midwesterner in Kansas, the black American in Durham - both are certain they are the real American.
Maya Angelou
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise.
Maya Angelou
In all my work, I try to say - 'You may be given a load of sour lemons, why not try to make a dozen lemon meringue pies?'
Maya Angelou
My son is the best thing that ever happened to me. And through me - to a lot of people.
Maya Angelou
I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world's variety and uniqueness.
Maya Angelou
The truth is very important. No matter how negative it is, it is imperative that you learn the truth, not necessarily the facts. I mean, that, that can come, but facts can stand in front of the truth and almost obscure the truth. It is imperative that students learn the truth of our history.
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
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
When you learn, teach, when you get, give.
Maya Angelou
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.
Maya Angelou
Don't let the man bring you down.
Maya Angelou
No one comes from the earth like grass. We come like trees. We all have roots.
Maya Angelou
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Maya Angelou
There's something which impels us to show our inner souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.
Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
Modesty is a learned affectation. It's no good. Humility is great, because humility says, 'There was someone before me. I'm following in somebody's footsteps.'
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.
Maya Angelou
I think I know that I deserve better. And so I try for better. I'm never so put off that I would ever walk out of a place not having tried the best I could.
Maya Angelou
It's very hard for adults to maintain respect and romance so that a love affair can be sustained over years.
