More quotes by Maya Angelou
I think I know that I deserve better. And so I try for better. I'm never so put off that I would ever walk out of a place not having tried the best I could.
Maya Angelou
The hope, the hope that lives in the breast of the black American, is just so tremendous that it overwhelms me sometimes.
Maya Angelou
I believe that the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity is daring to dare.
Maya Angelou
The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.
Maya Angelou
Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.
Maya Angelou
I wasn't a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
Maya Angelou
I try to live what I consider a poetic existence. That means I take responsibility for the air I breathe and the space I take up. I try to be immediate, to be totally present for all my work.
Maya Angelou
Martin Luther King was a human being with a brilliant mind, a powerful heart, and insight, and courage and also with a sense of humor. So he was accessible.
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Maya Angelou
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
Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm, when we look at each other we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike.
Maya Angelou
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
You build your 'COURAGE MUSCLE' daily, by being courageous in little things. Just do right.
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
I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world's variety and uniqueness.
Maya Angelou
You dwell in whitened castles with deep and poisoned moats and cannot hear the curses which fill your children's throats.
Maya Angelou
Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I'd listen to Italian music.
Maya Angelou
I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy. If we accept being talked to any kind of a way, then we are telling ourselves we are not quite worth the best. And if we have the effrontery to talk to anybody with less than courtesy, we tell ourselves and the world we are not very intelligent.
Maya Angelou
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou
The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.
