Image
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
Image
There is a kind of strength that is almost frightening in Black women. It's as if a steel rod runs right through the head down to the feet.
Maya Angelou
Image
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.
Maya Angelou
Image
If a person - any human being - is told often enough, You are nothing. You are nothing. You account for nothing. You count for nothing. You are less than a human being. I have no visibility of you, the person finally begins to believe it.

Maya Angelou
Image
We need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
Maya Angelou
Image
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.
Maya Angelou
Image
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
Image
Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.

Image
Facts can obscure the truth.
Maya Angelou
Image
As far as I knew white women were never lonely, except in books. White men adored them, Black men desired them and Black women worked for them.
Maya Angelou
Image
Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway.

Don't let the man bring you down.
