More quotes by Maya Angelou
Give yourself time just to be with yourself.
Maya Angelou
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.
Maya Angelou
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Please remember that your difficulties do not define you. They simply strengthen your ability to overcome.
Maya Angelou
One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Maya Angelou
I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Maya Angelou
In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.
Maya Angelou
When I try to describe myself to God I say, 'Lord, remember me? Black? Female? Six-foot tall? The writer?' And I almost always get God's attention.
Maya Angelou
Raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
Maya Angelou
We love and lose in China, we weep on England's moors, and laugh and moan in Guinea, and thrive on Spanish shores. We seek success in Finland, are born and die in Maine. In minor ways we differ, in major we're the same.
Maya Angelou
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.
Maya Angelou
Difficult is a far cry from impossible. The distance between these two lies hope. Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.
Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind.
Maya Angelou
Don't let anybody raise you. You've been raised.
Maya Angelou
We need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
Maya Angelou
You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
Maya Angelou
When people see the laughing face, even if they're jealous of it, their burden is lightened. But do it first for yourself. Laugh and dare to try to love somebody, starting with yourself.
Maya Angelou
You may not remember what a person said to you, you may not remember what a person did to you, but you will never forget how a person made you feel!
Maya Angelou
I do not need to know all things. I remind myself that it is sufficient that I know what I know and know that without believing that I will always know what I know or that what I know will always be true.
Maya Angelou
