More quotes by Maya Angelou
Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.
Maya Angelou
If I'm going to a new country, I try to learn something about the language and the culture, so I don't just go bumbling over things.
Maya Angelou
The most noble cause known to man is the liberation of the human mind and spirit.
Maya Angelou
As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else.
Maya Angelou
I come as one, but stand as 10,000.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
Maya Angelou
Stormy or sunny days, glorious or lonely nights, I maintain an attitude of gratitude.
Maya Angelou
Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: 'I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.'
Maya Angelou
Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.
Maya Angelou
Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.
Maya Angelou
Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.
Maya Angelou
It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can't do anything with that except do it.
Maya Angelou
I'm just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.
Maya Angelou
Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.
Maya Angelou
Everyone has at least one story, and each of us is funny if we admit it. You have to admit you're the funniest person you've ever heard of.
Maya Angelou
I had read a Tale of Two Cities and found it up to my standards as a romantic novel. She opened the first page and I heard poetry for the first time in my life...her voice slid in and curved down trough and over the words. She was nearly singing.
Maya Angelou
You can see in others what they don't see in themselves and what the world doesn't see in them.
Maya Angelou
I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That's it. That's how you get to know who you are.
Maya Angelou
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
Maya Angelou
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams.
Maya Angelou
