At our best, we are all teachers
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
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
I'm a writer and writers either have good memories or nothing at all.
Maya Angelou
Image
Poetry helps my soul escape its encasement.
Maya Angelou
Image
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

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
