More quotes by Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
I pray for humility because that comes from inside out. And what humility does for one, is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come, but who may be here and needs me.
Maya Angelou
The intensity with which young people live demands that they blank out as often as possible.
Maya Angelou
I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But I like - if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.
Maya Angelou
Life loves the liver of it.
Maya Angelou
Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.
Maya Angelou
Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else.
Maya Angelou
Money and power can liberate only if they are used to do so. They can imprison and inhibit more finally than barred windows and iron chains.
Maya Angelou
The hope, the hope that lives in the breast of the black American, is just so tremendous that it overwhelms me sometimes.
Maya Angelou
Human beings love poetry. They don't even know it sometimes... whether they're the songs of Bono, or the songs of Justin Bieber... they're listening to poetry.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
Maya Angelou
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. 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
If we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.
Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
Inscribed on the temple of Apollo
Maya Angelou
Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.
Maya Angelou
I try to see every day as a celebration.
Maya Angelou
