More quotes by Maya Angelou
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone
Maya Angelou
Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake.
Maya Angelou
People are too busy putting things under microscopes and so forth. Creativity is greater than the sum of its parts.
Maya Angelou
Each of us, famous or infamous, is a role model for somebody, and if we aren't, we should behave as though we are -- cheerful, kind, loving, courteous. Because you can be sure someone is watching and taking deliberate and diligent notes.
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
I pray for humility because that comes from inside out. And what humility does for one, is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come, but who may be here and needs me.
Maya Angelou
Modesty is a learned affectation. It's no good. Humility is great, because humility says, 'There was someone before me. I'm following in somebody's footsteps.'
Maya Angelou
Don't let the man bring you down.
Maya Angelou
Always in the black spirituals there's that promise that things are going to be better, by and by.
Maya Angelou
Its not where your dreams take you, its where you take your dreams.
Maya Angelou
Courage allows the successful woman to fail - and to learn powerful lessons from the failure - so that in the end, she didn't fail at all.
Maya Angelou
I know why the caged bird sings.
Maya Angelou
Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.
Maya Angelou
We need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
Maya Angelou
I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.
Maya Angelou
The future is plump with promise.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
All riddles are blues, / And all blues are sad, / And I'm only mentioning / Some blues I've had.
Maya Angelou
Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success, and then just get a little more.
Maya Angelou
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill, of things unknown, but longed for still, and his tune is heard on the distant hill, for the caged bird sings of freedom.
Maya Angelou
