More quotes by Maya Angelou
Live life as if it were created just for you.
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
I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.
Maya Angelou
One of the wonderful things about Oprah: She teaches you to keep on stepping.
Maya Angelou
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive
Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
Hope for the best, be prepared for the worse. Life is shocking, but you must never appear to be shocked. For no matter how bad it is it could be worse and no matter how good it is it could be better.
Maya Angelou
'God put the rainbow in the clouds, not just in the sky'... It is wise to realize we already have rainbows in our clouds, or we wouldn't be here. If the rainbow is in the clouds, then in the worst of time, there is the possibility of seeing hope... We can say 'I can be a rainbow in the cloud for someone yet to be.' That may be our calling.
Maya Angelou
When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else.
Maya Angelou
I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Maya Angelou
I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that's me.
Maya Angelou
It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.
Maya Angelou
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things.
Maya Angelou
You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.
Maya Angelou
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.
Maya Angelou
We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings.
Maya Angelou
Therefore we pledge to bind ourselves to one another, to embrace our lowliest, to keep company with our loneliest, to educate our illiterate, to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged, to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our brothers and sisters. We are our brothers and sisters
Maya Angelou
