I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
Maya Angelou
Image
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
Maya Angelou
Image
As a nurse, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul and body of our patients, their families and ourselves. They may not remember your name but they will never forget the way you made them feel.
Maya Angelou
Image
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.
Maya Angelou
Image
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

How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.
Maya Angelou
Image
Anger is like fire. It burns all clean.
Maya Angelou
Image
Courage is the most important of all the virtues, without it, you can practice no other.
Maya Angelou
Image
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
Image
I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.
Maya Angelou
Image
We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
Maya Angelou
Image
People don't always remember what you say or even what you do, but they always remember how you make them feel.
Maya Angelou
Image
Whenever I'm around some who is modest, I think, 'Run like hell and all of fire.' You don't want modesty, you want humility.
Maya Angelou
Image
The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.
Maya Angelou
Image
Ain't nothin' to it, but to do it.
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
We can be better, we can be wiser, we can be more kind. Yes we have to change. We have to grow up and stop acting like 10 years old. Yes there is much to do, much to see, much to go into.
Maya Angelou
Image
There is an amazing something in the American psyche which speaks about courage, and it says, 'Yes I can,' ... Yes, we will overcome it all because we have the spirit to do so.
