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 main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.

Tragedy, no matter how sad, becomes boring to those not caught in its addictive caress.
Maya Angelou
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

Maya Angelou
I am never proud to participate in violence, yet I know that each of us must care enough for ourselves that we can be ready and able to come to our own defence when and wherever needed.
Maya Angelou
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.
Maya Angelou
It's a wonderful thing to know that there is something to know there is something greater than I am, and that is God itself.
Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
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
A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true.
Maya Angelou
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.
Maya Angelou
