More quotes by Maya Angelou
The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.
Maya Angelou
I agree with Balzac and 19th-century writers, black and white, who say, 'I write for money.' Yes, I think everybody should be paid handsomely I insist on it, and I pay people who work for me, or with me, handsomely.
Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust, I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
I do like to have guns around. I don't like to carry them. But I like - if somebody is going to come into my house and I have not put out the welcome mat, I want to stop them.
Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
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
To be angry is very good. It burns out things and leaves nutrients in the soil. You should always be ready to be angry at injustice and cruelty.
Maya Angelou
We must create a climate where people agree that human beings are more alike than unalike. The only way to do that is through education.
Maya Angelou
I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.
Maya Angelou
In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.
Maya Angelou
When the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one - it's the first blow in a suicidal movement.
Maya Angelou
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise. Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise.
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
Wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.
Maya Angelou
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
Maya Angelou
If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.
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
Even here in America, we felt the cool, refreshing breeze of freedom when Nelson Mandela took the seat of Presidency in his country where formerly he was not even allowed to vote. We were enlarged by tears of pride as we saw Nelson Mandela's former prison guards invited, courteously, by him to watch from the front rows his inauguration.
Maya Angelou
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
Maya Angelou
Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.
Maya Angelou
