QUOTES OF MAYA ANGELOU
The world had taken a deep breath and was having doubts about continuing to revolve.
A person is the product of their dreams. So make sure to dream great dreams. And then try to live your dream.
Life is a glorious banquet, a limitless and delicious buffet.
Freedom is never free.
Bitterness is like cancer. It eats...
I don't know if I continue even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'Well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all.
The devil lives in our mistakes, the lord lives in our rights. Who lives in our ignorance, and who wins after all?
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
The charitable say in effect, 'I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.' Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.
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.
If somebody is really trying to take your head off with a baseball bat - I don't know how long you're supposed to stand there and turn the other cheek, so he or she can get a better angle at taking your head off.
I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
My mother is so full of joy and life. I am her child. And that is better than being the child of anyone else in the world.
We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.
Faith is the evidence of the unseen.
When you learn, teach, when you get, give.
I would say you might encounter many defeats but you must never be defeated, ever. In fact, it might even be necessary to confront defeat. It might be necessary, to get over it, all the way through it, and go on. I would teach her to laugh a lot. Laugh a lot at the - and the silliest things and be very, very serious. I'd teach her to love life, I can bet you that.
At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.
If God put the rainbows right in the clouds themselves, each one of us in the direst and dullest and most dreaded and dreary moments can see a possibility of hope ... Each one of us has the chance to be a rainbow in somebody's cloud.
We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay - and rise!
We need to haunt the house of history and listen anew to the ancestors' wisdom.
I try to see every day as a celebration.
Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure. . . Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.
There's a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.
I was raped when I was very young. I told my brother the name of the person who had done it. Within a few days the man was killed. In my child's mind--seven and a half years old--I thought my voice had killed him. So I stopped talking for five years.
We can only know where we're going if we know where we've been.
I don't know how much longer I'll be around. I'll probably be writing when the Lord says, 'Maya, Maya Angelou, it's time.'
Love liberates. Love - not sentimentality, not mush - but true love gives you enough courage that you can say to somebody,
Don't do that, baby. And the person will know you're not preaching but teaching.
Intelligence is a separate gift, for the benefit of students, so that they may think of themselves as intellectual and not very intelligent, or intelligent and not very intellectual. One hopes, of course, that they try to bring the two virtues, the two elements, into their lives at the same time.
Love life. Engage in it. Give it all you've got. Love it with a passion because life truly does give back, many times over, what you put into it.
But from a distance. I would have left you whole and wholly for the delectation of those who wanted more and cared less.
Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and I'll be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and you'll have to say,
Stop here until your mom comes here. Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.
You rose into my life like a promised sunrise, brightening my days with the light in your eyes. I've never been so strong. Now I'm where I belong.
We must be warriors in the struggle against ignorance
"The real difficulty
