More quotes by Maya Angelou
Try to live your life in a way that you will not regret years of useless virtue and inertia and timidity.
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 agreed that great men and women should be forced to live as long as possible. The reverence they enjoyed was a life sentence, which they could neither revoke nor modify.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we are all teachers
Maya Angelou
I, with millions of other Americans, have the same dream Martin Luther King Jr. had when I wake up I wish some of the things I dreamt would be true. I wish that little black and white boys and girls would hold hands without being shocked at their nearness to each other and say in a natural way, we have overcome.
Maya Angelou
She comprehended the perversity of life, that in the struggle lies the joy.
Maya Angelou
You never get over the fear of writing.
Maya Angelou
All of us knows, not what is expedient, not what is going to make us popular, not what the policy is, or the company policy - but in truth each of us knows what is the right thing to do. And that's how I am guided.
Maya Angelou
I know why the caged bird sings.
Maya Angelou
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, without it, you can practice no other.
Maya Angelou
Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.
Maya Angelou
I refuse to allow any man-made differences to separate me from any other human beings.
Maya Angelou
The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.
Maya Angelou
We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that most people do not grow up ... our real selves, the children inside, are still innocent and shy as magnolias.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
Had I not had my grandmother, who dared to be my rainbow in the clouds, I would have been just another sexually abused barefoot black girl on the roads of Arkansas.
Maya Angelou
If we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.
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
Don't bring negative to my door.
Maya Angelou
