More quotes by Maya Angelou
We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated, you could fail without being a failure. When you see failure and defeats as merely part of the process to get to when.
Maya Angelou
Everybody in the world wants the same thing...to be needed...a job that he/she can do well...to love somebody...Everybody...There's no mystery.
Maya Angelou
The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.
Maya Angelou
Freedom is never free.
Maya Angelou
I love wisdom. And you can never be great at anything unless you love it. Not be in love with it, but love the thing, admire the thing. And it seems that if you love the thing, and you don't just want to possess it, it will find you. But if you're in love with the thing, it may run like hell away from you.
Maya Angelou
I'm sorry to say that when some people get to age 50, they say, Well, that's the end, I'll never have to do sex again. They lay down first and get up last! But in your sixties, everything is sweeter. You have more time.
Maya Angelou
The future is plump with promise.
Maya Angelou
If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self.
Maya Angelou
The intensity with which young people live demands that they blank out as often as possible.
Maya Angelou
Elimination of illiteracy is as serious an issue to our history as the abolition of slavery.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.
Maya Angelou
To be human is to be challenged to be more divine. Not even to try to meet such a challenge is the biggest defeat imaginable.
Maya Angelou
I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I'm a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself - all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
Maya Angelou
If you are going down a road and don't like what's in front of you, and look behind you and don't like what you see, get off the road. Create a new path!
Maya Angelou
To be left alone on the tightrope of youthful unknowing is to experience the excruciating beauty of full freedom and the threat of eternal indecision.
Maya Angelou
One of the wonderful things about Oprah: She teaches you to keep on stepping.
Maya Angelou
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.
Maya Angelou
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
Maya Angelou
I wasn't a pretty girl. I was six feet tall at 15, you know.
