Maya Angelou
Everyone grows old but not everyone grows up.
Maya Angelou
Those of us who submitted or surrendered our ideas and dreams and identities to the 'leaders' must take back our rights, our identities, our responsibilities.
Maya Angelou

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
Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs?
Maya Angelou
I pray for humility because that comes from inside out. And what humility does for one, is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come, but who may be here and needs me.
Maya Angelou
To know and not to do is in fact not to know. We need to be active instruments against evil. We need to do.
Maya Angelou
You can't get too high for somebody to bring you down.
Maya Angelou
Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.
Maya Angelou
My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.
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
