More quotes by Maya Angelou
The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated, you could fail without being a failure. When you see failure and defeats as merely part of the process to get to when.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
I try to see every day as a celebration.
Maya Angelou
You have to deal with what you encounter. But you must not be reduced. And so a way not to be reduced is don't whine! Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low.
Maya Angelou
When was the last time anyone ever told you how important you are?
Maya Angelou
We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Maya Angelou
The desire to reach hearts is wise
Maya Angelou
Anything that works against you can also work for you once you understand the Principle of Reverse.

When you learn, teach, when you get, give.
