More quotes by Maya Angelou
You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Continue. Be loving and be strong. Be fierce and be kind. And don't give in and don't give up.'
Maya Angelou
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

Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.

Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

Look what you've already come through! Don't deny it. Say I'm stronger than I thought I was
Maya Angelou
Continue to plant a kiss of concern on the cheek of the sick and the aged and infirm and count that actions as natural and to be expected.
Maya Angelou
When you do nothing you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
Maya Angelou
I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
Maya Angelou
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Maya Angelou
If we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.
Maya Angelou

I keep hitting the escape button but I am still here!
Maya Angelou
