More quotes by Maya Angelou
I know that I'm not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don't know how not to.
Maya Angelou
Living a life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you'll end wrong.
Maya Angelou
Without willing it, I had gone from being ignorant of being ignorant to being aware of being aware. And the worst part of my awareness was that I didn't know what I was aware of. I knew I knew very little, but I was certain that the things I had yet to learn wouldn't be taught to me at George Washington High School.
Maya Angelou
Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.
Maya Angelou
We are only as blind as we want to be.
Maya Angelou
It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.
Maya Angelou
Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was indulgent never. Kind, yes, permissive, never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.
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 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
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
Listen to some good poetry. You see? It keeps us from thinking we are only what our blatant appetites describe us as.
Maya Angelou
The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are.
Maya Angelou
The poetry you read has been written for you, each of you - black, white, Hispanic, man, woman, gay, straight.
Maya Angelou
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
The future is plump with promise.
Maya Angelou
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
Maya Angelou
Life is a glorious banquet, a limitless and delicious buffet.
Maya Angelou
A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.
Maya Angelou
Tell the truth and not the facts.
Maya Angelou
