More quotes by Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Information helps you to see that you're not alone. That there's somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who have wept, who've all longed and lost, who've all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you're not really any different from everyone else.
Maya Angelou
I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.
Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
Maya Angelou
Courage allows the successful woman to fail - and to learn powerful lessons from the failure - so that in the end, she didn't fail at all.
Maya Angelou
I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
I keep hitting the escape button but I am still here!
Maya Angelou
I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels.
