More quotes by Maya Angelou
Wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.
Maya Angelou
If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
I believed that there was a God because I was told it by my grandmother and later by other adults. But when I found that I knew not only that there was God but that I was a child of God, when I understood that, when I comprehended that, more than that, when I internalized that, ingested that, I became courageous.
Maya Angelou
I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.
Maya Angelou
Live life as if it were created just for you.
Maya Angelou
The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough.
Maya Angelou
Won't it be wonderful when black history and native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.
Maya Angelou
I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute.
Maya Angelou
Remember, people will judge you by your actions not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold but so does a hard-boiled egg.
Maya Angelou
Love is a condition so powerful it may be that which pulls the stars in the firmament. It may be that which pushes and urges the blood in the veins. Courage: you have to have courage to love somebody because you risk everything-ever ything.
Maya Angelou
The desire to reach hearts is wise
Maya Angelou
Dr. [Martin Luther] King was a human being. He had a sense of humor which was wonderful.
Maya Angelou
I am convinced that words are things, and we simply don't have the machinery to measure what they are. I believe that words are tangible things.
Maya Angelou
To grow up is to stop putting blame on parents.
Maya Angelou
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
Modesty is a learned affectation. It's no good. Humility is great, because humility says, 'There was someone before me. I'm following in somebody's footsteps.'
Maya Angelou
Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
Maya Angelou
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.
Maya Angelou
In a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.
Maya Angelou
All of my history as an African-American woman, as a Jewish woman, as a Muslim woman. I'm bringing everything I ever knew, and all the stories I've read - everything good, strong, kind and powerful. I bring it all with me into every situation, and I will not allow my life to be minimized by anybody's racism or sexism or ageism.
Maya Angelou
