More quotes by Maya Angelou
Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind.
Maya Angelou
I'm convinced that I'm a child of God. That's wonderful, exhilarating, liberating, full of promise. But the burden which goes along with that is, I'm convinced that everybody is a child of God. . . . I weep a lot. I thank God I laugh a lot, too. The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.
Maya Angelou
Today, the first & last of every Tree/ Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the River.
Maya Angelou
It is the worst thing you can do, women, is whine, .. I mean the worst. Don't complain, protest.
Maya Angelou
Don't trust people who don't laugh. I don't.
Maya Angelou
I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.
Maya Angelou
It is sad but true that sometimes we need the tragedy to help us to see how human we are and how we are more alike than we are different.
Maya Angelou
Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Maya Angelou
Because of technological breakthroughs, the society will need fewer and fewer unskilled laborers.
Maya Angelou
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
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, and better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style.
Maya Angelou
Sisterhood means if you happen to be in Burma and I happen to be in San Diego and I'm married to someone who is very jealous and you're married to somebody who is very possessive, if you call me in the middle of the night, I have to come.
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
Love builds up the broken wall and straightens the crooked path. Love keeps the stars in the firmament and imposes rhythm on the ocean tides. Each of us is created of it and I suspect each of us was created for it.
Maya Angelou
We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.
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
When the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one - it's the first blow in a suicidal movement.
Maya Angelou
Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.
Maya Angelou
Your life is much more important that you can imagine... it is your first treasure.
Maya Angelou
Always in the black spirituals there's that promise that things are going to be better, by and by.
Maya Angelou
