Maya Angelou

We can only know where we’re going if we know where we’ve been.

Maya Angelou

We have it in us to be splendid.

Maya Angelou

We may act sophisticated and worldly but I believe we feel safest when we go inside ourselves and find home, a place where we belong and maybe the only place we really do.

Maya Angelou

We must recreate an attractive and caring attitude in our homes and in our worlds. If our children are to approve of themselves, they must see that we approve of ourselves.

Maya Angelou

We need much less than we think we need.

Maya Angelou

We need to not be in denial about what we’ve done, what we’ve come through. It will help us if we all do that.

Maya Angelou

We need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.

Maya Angelou

We will sometimes have defeats in life but you can have defeats without being defeated, you could fail without being a failure. When you see failure and defeats as merely part of the process to get to when.

Maya Angelou

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life.

Maya Angelou

What humility does for one, is it reminds us that there are people before me. I have already been paid for. And what I need to do is prepare myself so that I can pay for someone else who has yet to come, but who may be here and needs me.
