More quotes by 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
You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.
Maya Angelou
When I love somebody, I like him to be around I like him to take me out to dinner I like to look at the sunset with him. But if not, I love him and I hope he's looking at the same sun I am. Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age. Some of this wisdom came to me after I was 50 or 60.
Maya Angelou
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
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
A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.
Maya Angelou
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
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
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
Remember, people will judge you by your actions not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg.
Maya Angelou
We are missing Michael. But we do know we had him, and we are the world.
Maya Angelou
People will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
Maya Angelou
No one can take the place of a friend, no one.
Maya Angelou
Everybody is worth everything.
Maya Angelou
If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you, and look behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path!
Maya Angelou
The area where we are the greatest is the area in which we inspire, encourage and connect with another human being.
Maya Angelou
Courage - you develop courage by doing small things like just as if you wouldn't want to pick up a 100-pound weight without preparing yourself.
Maya Angelou
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
Maya Angelou
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Maya Angelou
