I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you. But if you're in love with the thing, it may run like hell away from you.
Maya Angelou

It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable.
Maya Angelou
I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.
Maya Angelou
You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.
Maya Angelou
There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in Black women. It's as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet.
Maya Angelou
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
It's very hard for adults to maintain respect and romance so that a love affair can be sustained over years.
Maya Angelou
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
