I have heard it said that winter, too, will pass, that spring is a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on.

More quotes by Maya Angelou
Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakable God. My pretty Black brother was my Kingdom Come.
Maya Angelou
And 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
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
Whether you are happy or whether you are sad, it is wise to remember you are really in process.
Maya Angelou
I want all my senses engaged. Let me absorb the world's variety and uniqueness.
Maya Angelou
It is sad but true that sometimes we need the tragedy to help us to see how human we are and how we are more alike than we are different.
Maya Angelou
Live as though life was created for you.
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
We agreed that great men and women should be forced to live as long as possible. The reverence they enjoyed was a life sentence, which they could neither revoke nor modify.
Maya Angelou
I am a woman phenomenally, phenomenal woman that is your grandmother, that is your mother, that is your sister, that is you and that is 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
When I love somebody, I like him to be around I like him to take me out to dinner I like to look at the sunset with him. But if not, I love him and I hope he's looking at the same sun I am. Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age. Some of this wisdom came to me after I was 50 or 60.
Maya Angelou
Everything costs and costs the earth.
Maya Angelou
Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.
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
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
Step off the road. Build yourself a brand new path.
Maya Angelou
Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don't understand but something I'm able to harness and use.
Maya Angelou
Sunday, if I'm lucky, I'll go to church or listen to some good spiritual advice on the television or on the radio. I take three or four baths to try to cleanse myself, so I'm fresh for Monday.
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
