More quotes by Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.
Maya Angelou
Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.
Maya Angelou
I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.
Maya Angelou
I did what I knew.. when I knew better, I did better
Maya Angelou
Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it empowers us to develop courage to trust that courage and build bridges with it to trust those bridges and cross over them so we can attempt to reach each other.
Maya Angelou
Raising kids is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life'.
