Maya Angelou
You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.
Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou
Poetry puts starch in your backbone so you can stand, so you can compose your life.

Maya Angelou
When we decide to be happy we accept the responsibility to bring happiness to someone else. Some decide that happiness and glee are the same thing, they are not. When we choose happiness we accept the responsibility to lighten the load of someone else and to be a light on the path to another who may be walking in darkness.
Maya Angelou
Every day offers you 10,000 reasons to cry, but if you can find just one reason to laugh then you will be all right.
Maya Angelou
Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.
Maya Angelou
It's good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.
Maya Angelou
We are not our brother’s keeper we are our brother and we are our sister. We must look past complexion and see community.
Maya Angelou
