More quotes by Maya Angelou
While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.
Maya Angelou
Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
Maya Angelou
There is a lot of ignorance, and I don't mean intellectual ignorance. I mean people think that if you get something, it will take away from what I have. It's just ignorance.
Maya Angelou
I wish that we could look into each other's faces, in each other's eyes, and see our own selves. I hope that the children have not been so scarred by their upbringing that they only think fear when they see someone else who looks separate from them.
Maya Angelou
If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.
Maya Angelou
We can only know where we're going if we know where we've been.

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
We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated, you could fail without being a failure. When you see failure and defeats as merely part of the process to get to when.
Maya Angelou
We grow despite the horror that we feed upon our own tomorrow. We grow.
Maya Angelou
The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
Maya Angelou
I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.
Maya Angelou
A Woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself
Maya Angelou
Cooking certain dishes, like roast pork, reminds me of my mother.
Maya Angelou
I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.
Maya Angelou
If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world?
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
I'm a serious aficionada of country music - Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry. I've even written some songs. They haven't done anything of mine yet. But it's only a matter of time.
Maya Angelou
I've had people explain to me what one of my poems meant, and I've been surprised that it means that to them. If a person can use a poem of mine to interpret her life or his life, good. I can't control that. Nor would I want to.
