Maya Angelou
Image
Dr. [Martin Luther] King was a human being. He had a sense of humor which was wonderful.
Maya Angelou
Image
When I forgive other people, I let them go, I free them from my ignorance. And as soon as I do, I feel lighter, brighter and better.
Maya Angelou
Image
Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.
Maya Angelou
Image
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage to trust that courage and build bridges with it to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.
Maya Angelou
Image
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Maya Angelou
Image
I encourage you to live with life. Be courageous, adventurous. Give us a tomorrow, more than we deserve.
Maya Angelou
Image
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
Image
Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.
