Maya Angelou
Just as hope rings through laughter, it can also shine through tears.
Maya Angelou
Don't let the man bring you down.
Maya Angelou
The country didn't get that way in a week we've had years and years of getting behind in our economy. So President [Barack] Obama stepped into a hellhole and people wanted him to change it as soon as he came in. But he's got his adversaries to deal with in the House and Senate, so it's not easy.
Maya Angelou

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
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances.

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
Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?
Maya Angelou
Joy is a freedom. It helps a person to find his/her own liberation. The person who is joyous takes responsibility for the time he/she takes up and the space that he/she occupies. You share it! Some of you have it ... you share it! That is what joy is! When you continue to give it away you will still have so much more of it.
Maya Angelou
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone
Maya Angelou
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
Maya Angelou
I speak a number of languages, but none are more beautiful to me than English.
Maya Angelou
I am a child of God. I always carry that with me.
Maya Angelou
