More quotes by Maya Angelou
Do not be wedded forever to fear, yoked eternally to brutishness.
Maya Angelou
Be present in all things and thankful for all things.
Maya Angelou
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Maya Angelou
I agree with Balzac and 19th-century writers, black and white, who say, 'I write for money.' Yes, I think everybody should be paid handsomely I insist on it, and I pay people who work for me, or with me, handsomely.
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
I have need of a friend. There is one and only one who will give the air from his failing lungs for my body's mend. And that one is my love.
Maya Angelou
We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence neither speed up nor slow down add to nor diminish it is an imponderably valuable gift.
Maya Angelou
Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory.
Maya Angelou
If I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.
Maya Angelou
I'm a serious aficionada of country music - Reba McEntire, Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry. I've even written some songs. They haven't done anything of mine yet. But it's only a matter of time.
Maya Angelou
It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents.
Maya Angelou
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
There's racism and sexism and ageism and all sorts of idiocies. But bad news is not news. We've had bad news as a species for a long time. We've had slavery and human sacrifice and the holocaust and brutalities of such measure.
Maya Angelou
Beneath the skin, beyond the differing features and into the true heart of being, fundamentally, we are more alike, my friend, than we are unalike.
Maya Angelou
You don't need another person, place or thing to make you whole. God already did that. Your job is to know it.
Maya Angelou
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
