More quotes by Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome good.
Maya Angelou
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou

On the day of your birth, the Creator filled countless storehouses, set aside for your use and yours alone.
Maya Angelou
Nobody can enjoy unless we all enjoy, truly enjoy.
Maya Angelou
I would be stupid not to be on my own side. But I'm a human being, too. And I'm on the side of human beings, rather than on the side of crocodiles.
Maya Angelou
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
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
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
