Maya Angelou
Image
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
Image
I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.
Maya Angelou
Image
I believe what I have to say is important, and I believe the people coming to hear me are important, and so the occasion of itself alone has an importance, which forces me to stare down my nerves.
Maya Angelou
Image
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
Maya Angelou
Image
And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
Maya Angelou
Image
Moderation in all things. And even moderation in moderation. Don't get too much moderation, you know?
Maya Angelou
Image
Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.
Maya Angelou
