More quotes by Maya Angelou
The future is plump with promise.
Maya Angelou
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a woman called by a devaluing name will only be weakened by the misnomer.
Maya Angelou
At our best, we're all teachers
Maya Angelou
I am a very religious person, so it is the presence of God, the constant unwavering, unrelenting presence of God which continues to help me to keep a character which I am proud to show.
Maya Angelou

I would ask every man and every woman who's had the blessing of having children, 'Would you deny your son or your daughter the ecstasy of finding someone to love?' To love someone takes a lot of courage. So how much more is one challenged when the love is of the same sex and the laws say, 'I forbid you from loving this person'?
Maya Angelou
On the day of your birth, the Creator filled countless storehouses, set aside for your use and yours alone.
Maya Angelou
Freedom is never free.

A mother's love liberates.
Maya Angelou
There is a spirit in all music, the spirit has the ability to conjure up thoughts even pictures of something that happened or you wished would happen or you anticipate happening. Music has the ability to create ideas in you and me. It has the ability to encourage us to be creative.
Maya Angelou
Be present in all things and thankful for all things.
Maya Angelou
Hope is born again in the faces of children.
Maya Angelou
I do not think of myself as unusually creative. I think we all come from the creator, each human being streaming with the glory. So each one of us is creative.
Maya Angelou
If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.
Maya Angelou
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
Maya Angelou
We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated. It may even be necessary to encounter the defeat, so that we can know who we are.
Maya Angelou
Let me tell so much truth. I want to tell the truth in my work. The truth will lead me to all.
Maya Angelou
