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
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.
Maya Angelou
When it looks like the sun isn't going to shine any more, God puts a rainbow in the clouds. Each one of us has the possibility, the responsibility, the probability to be the rainbow in the clouds.
Maya Angelou
It is impossible to struggle for civil rights, equal rights for blacks, without including whites. Because equal rights, fair play, justice, are all like the air: we all have it, or none of us has it. That is the truth of it.
Maya Angelou
The intensity with which young people live demands that they blank out as often as possible.
Maya Angelou
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
I am capable of what every other human is capable of. This is one of the great lessons of war and life.
Maya Angelou
Some of us are timid. We think we have something to lose so we don't try for that next hill.
Maya Angelou
I know some people might think it odd - unworthy even - for me to have written a cookbook, but I make no apologies. The U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins thought I had demeaned myself by writing poetry for Hallmark Cards, but I am the people's poet so I write for the people.
Maya Angelou
Be courageous, but not foolhardy. Walk proud as you are.
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
You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them.
Maya Angelou
Hope is born again in the faces of children.
Maya Angelou
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
I'm a religious woman. And I feel I have responsibility. I have no modesty at all. I'm even afraid of it - it's a learned affectation and it's just stuck on me like decals.
Maya Angelou
It's very important to know the neighbor next door and the people down the street and the people in another race.
Maya Angelou
I'm working at trying to be a Christian, and that's serious business. It's like trying to be a good Jew, a good Muslim, a good Buddhist, a good Shintoist, a good Zoroastrian, a good friend, a good lover, a good mother, a good buddy: it's serious business.
Maya Angelou
The woman who truly intends to live a good life is already living phenomenally since intent is part of the achievement.
Maya Angelou
People have to feel needed. Frequently, we just offer a job and 'perks.' We don't always offer people a purpose. When people feel there is a purpose and that they're needed, there's not much else to do except let them do the work.
Maya Angelou
