Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Living a life is like constructing a building: if you start wrong, you'll end wrong.
Maya Angelou
You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.
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
If you're for the right thing, you do it without thinking.
Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still like dust, I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.
Maya Angelou
