More quotes by Maya Angelou
Happiness is a chance to talk to a friend, to hear good music, to have a good glass of wine. Happiness is a chance to be myself and to find people with whom I agree or who I don't agree but I can learn something.
Maya Angelou
No one comes from the earth like grass. We come like trees. We all have roots.
Maya Angelou
We grow despite the horror that we feed upon our own tomorrow. We grow.
Maya Angelou
Hope is born again in the faces of children.
Maya Angelou
You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.
Maya Angelou
And I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, Can I be of help?
Maya Angelou
The truth is very important. No matter how negative it is, it is imperative that you learn the truth, not necessarily the facts. I mean, that, that can come, but facts can stand in front of the truth and almost obscure the truth. It is imperative that students learn the truth of our history.
Maya Angelou
If you do not like anything, alter it. If you can not change it, adjust your mindset. Will not complain.
Maya Angelou
I don't think there's such a thing as autobiographical fiction. If I say it happened, it happened, even if only in my mind.
Maya Angelou
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
Everybody born comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. We come from the Creator with creativity. I think that each one of us is born with creativity.
Maya Angelou
You don't want modesty, you want humility. Humility comes from inside out. It says someone was here before me and I'm here because I've been paid for. I have something to do and I will do that because I'm paying for someone else who has yet to come.
Maya Angelou
I keep hitting the escape button but I am still here!
Maya Angelou
To those who are given much, much is expected.
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
I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya Angelou
I think the more we know the better we are. I mean not just facts. The more we know about each other, the closer we are to learn something about our selves.
Maya Angelou
Surviving is important. Thriving is elegant.
Maya Angelou
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Maya Angelou
