More quotes by Maya Angelou
Oh, the holiness of being the injured party.
Maya Angelou
I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That's it. That's how you get to know who you are.
Maya Angelou
I'm really saddened by the attempts to separate and polarize. This is a time when we have hungry people, people out of work, and people out of spirit. This is a time where we need to uplift, not to separate.
Maya Angelou
Black women have not historically stood in the pulpit, but that doesn't undermine the fact that they built the churches and maintain the pulpits.
Maya Angelou
I think we have systematically and critically harmed ourselves and many young people by advising them not to try things.
Maya Angelou
Don't face the day until you've faced God.
Maya Angelou
I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.
Maya Angelou
By no amount of agile exercising of a wistful imagination could my mother have been called lenient. Generous she was indulgent never. Kind, yes, permissive, never. In her world, people she accepted paddled their own canoes, pulled their own weight, put their own shoulders to their own plows and pushed like hell.
Maya Angelou
Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone.
Maya Angelou
It's good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.
Maya Angelou
Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
Maya Angelou
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.
Maya Angelou
Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.
Maya Angelou
I don't know how much longer I'll be around. I'll probably be writing when the Lord says, 'Maya, Maya Angelou, it's time.'
Maya Angelou
I get up in the morning, and I'm reluctant to turn on the television.
Maya Angelou
I wouldn't trade anything for my story now.
Maya Angelou
The woman who truly intends to live a good life is already living phenomenally since intent is part of the achievement.
Maya Angelou
What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain.
Maya Angelou
Give yourself time just to be with yourself.
Maya Angelou
I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
