Maya Angelou
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
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
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
You think you may not be heard. Speak anyway.
Maya Angelou
Shakespeare must be a black girl.
Maya Angelou
To those who have given up on love: I say, Trust life a little bit.
Maya Angelou
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
Maya Angelou
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
Everybody in the world wants the same thing...to be needed...a job that he/she can do well...to love somebody...Everybody...There's no mystery.
Maya Angelou
