Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Image
I do not need to know all things. I remind myself that it is sufficient that I know what I know and know that without believing that I will always know what I know or that what I know will always be true.
Maya Angelou
Image
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.
Maya Angelou
Image
I get up in the morning, and I'm reluctant to turn on the television.
Maya Angelou
Image
Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Maya Angelou
Image
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.
Maya Angelou
Image
I am capable of what every other human is capable of. This is one of the great lessons of war and life.
