More quotes by Maya Angelou
When we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?
Maya Angelou
I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves that we can be ready and able to come to our own defence when and wherever needed.
Maya Angelou
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
Hope for the best, be prepared for the worse. Life is shocking, but you must never appear to be shocked. For no matter how bad it is it could be worse and no matter how good it is it could be better.
Maya Angelou
Achievement brings its own anticlimax.
Maya Angelou
Courage, I don't think anybody is born with courage. I think you may be born with a flair to braggadocio, you know. That's not courage.
Maya Angelou
Nathaniel Hawthorne once said that easy reading is damn hard writing.
Maya Angelou
Depending on who I am talking about or who's talking through me - if the person is a kind of hip-hop, or rhythm and blues person, or if the person is a kind of old-fashion gothic, meaning gothic attitude, then that will determine what form the poem will take.
Maya Angelou
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
Maya Angelou
My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.
Maya Angelou
Martin Luther King was a human being with a brilliant mind, a powerful heart, and insight, and courage and also with a sense of humor. So he was accessible.
Maya Angelou
I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
Maya Angelou
I answer the heroic question, 'Death, where is thy sting?' with 'It is in my heart and mind and memories.
Maya Angelou
Most people don't grow up. It's too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older.
Maya Angelou
