More quotes by Maya Angelou
In all my work, I try to say - 'You may be given a load of sour lemons, why not try to make a dozen lemon meringue pies?'
Maya Angelou
When I'm writing, I write. And then it's as if the muse is convinced that I'm serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I'll come.'
Maya Angelou
My mother raised me, and then freed me.
Maya Angelou
Inscribed on the temple of Apollo
Maya Angelou
Open your eyes to the beauty around you, open your mind to the wonders of life, open your heart to those who love you, and always be true to yourself.
Maya Angelou
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I'm a writer and writers either have good memories or nothing at all.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Be wary when a naked person offers you his shirt
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
When the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one - it's the first blow in a suicidal movement.
Maya Angelou
By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was indulgent never. Kind, yes, permissive, never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we're all teachers
Maya Angelou
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
No one has ever become poor from giving.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Maya Angelou
I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.
Maya Angelou
