Maya Angelou
The Holy Spirit upon my left leads my feet without ceasing into the camp of the righteous and into the tents of the free.
Maya Angelou
In all my work, I try to say - 'You may be given a load of sour lemons, why not try to make a dozen lemon meringue pies?'
Maya Angelou
When teachers or people in authority put me down or in one way or another tried to make me feel less than equal to what they thought I should be - my mother was on my side. It was amazing.

We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them.
Maya Angelou
Y’all dropped the ball and you should be shamed.

Maya Angelou
As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.
Maya Angelou
We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat, so that we can know who we are.
Maya Angelou
Love builds up the broken wall and straightens the crooked path. Love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides. Each of us is created of it and I suspect each of us was created for it.
Maya Angelou
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Maya Angelou
While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man's humanity to man.
Maya Angelou
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
