More quotes by Maya Angelou
I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.
Maya Angelou
A mother's love liberates.
Maya Angelou
I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.
Maya Angelou
I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, Can I be of help?.
Maya Angelou
I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves that we can be ready and able to come to our own defence when and wherever 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
Try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity.
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
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
Troubles are a blessing that force you to change, to believe.
Maya Angelou
The area where we are the greatest is the area in which we inspire, encourage and connect with another human being.
Maya Angelou
Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?
Maya Angelou
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.
Maya Angelou
Still, when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds.
Maya Angelou
If I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.
Maya Angelou
People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.
Maya Angelou
You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them.
Maya Angelou
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.
Maya Angelou
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people - one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion's den. You can't just play around with all those big cats - you've got to take somebody on.
