More quotes by Maya Angelou

Image
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
Image
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
Image
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
Image
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
Image
Don't face the day until you've faced God.
Maya Angelou
Image
Therefore we pledge to bind ourselves to one another, to embrace our lowliest, to keep company with our loneliest, to educate our illiterate, to feed our starving, to clothe our ragged, to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our brothers and sisters. We are our brothers and sisters

When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else.
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
Image
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
Image
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
Image
I pray for humility because that comes from inside out. And what humility does for one, is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come, but who may be here and needs me.
Maya Angelou
Image
I'm considered wise, and sometimes I see myself as knowing. Most of the time, I see myself as wanting to know. And I see myself as a very interested person. I've never been bored in my life.
Maya Angelou
Image
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise.
Maya Angelou
Image
Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Maya Angelou
Image
When I love somebody, I like him to be around I like him to take me out to dinner I like to look at the sunset with him. But if not, I love him and I hope he's looking at the same sun I am. Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age. Some of this wisdom came to me after I was 50 or 60.
Maya Angelou
Image
My mother raised me, and then freed me.
Maya Angelou
Image
The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free.
Maya Angelou
Image
Everyone has at least one story, and each of us is funny if we admit it. You have to admit you're the funniest person you've ever heard of.
Maya Angelou
Image
I will write on the pages of history what I want them to say. I will be myself. I will speak my own name.
Maya Angelou
Image
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
