I think we ought to give ours...

I think we ought to give ourselves more time. We should be more patient with ourselves and with each other.

My heart is so heavy when I see the reality of the Indian reservation and as an American, I know I am, too, responsible.

I'm a positive thinker and actor. I look at a glass; a negative person sees the glass and says: too bad it's half empty... I look at the same glass and say: Hallelujah!! It's half full!!!

I have no modesty. Modesty is a learned affectation. It's like decal stuck up on a person.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Depending on who I am talking...

Depending on who I am talking about or who's talking through me - if the person is a kind of hip-hop, or rhythm and blues person, or if the person is a kind of old-fashion gothic, meaning gothic attitude, then that will determine what form the poem will take.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

If you happen to fall in love...

If you happen to fall in love with someone in another race, it's more difficult, because you have to translate yourself.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

I believe that each of us com...

I believe that each of us comes from the Creator trailing wisps of glory. So at this wonderful, young age of 65, I don't know yet what the Lord has for me to do. I try to live up to the energy and to the calling, but I wouldn't dare say I have even scratched the surface yet.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

My work is to be honest. My w...

My work is to be honest. My work is to try to think clearly, then have the courage to make sure that what I say is the truth.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

If I'm going to a new country...

If I'm going to a new country, I try to learn something about the language and the culture, so I don't just go bumbling over things.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

When I love somebody, I like ...

When I love somebody, I like him to be around; I like him to take me out to dinner; I like to look at the sunset with him. But if not, I love him and I hope he's looking at the same sun I am. Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age. Some of this wisdom came to me after I was 50 or 60.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

When I want to think about wh...

When I want to think about what would be the right thing to do, the fair thing to do, the wise thing to do, I can just think of my grandmother. I can always hear her say, "Now sister, you know what's right. Just do right!"

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Intelligence is a separate gi...

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.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

It is better to control onese...

It is better to control oneself, if one can, and not hit back. But on certain occasions, it is imperative to defend oneself. I don't think it's fair to ask anybody not to defend herself or himself.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

We can see, from California t...

We can see, from California to New York, from Maine to Florida, Seattle to New Mexico - everywhere there are women's groups. Everywhere there are women who have gotten together to examine global warming, and women who have gotten together to prepare each other for single parenting - there are women who have come together to be supportive to those whose mates are in prison, male or female, partners are in prison. All sorts of gatherings of women. I mean, I'm just celebrating my 80th year on this planet, and I look back 50 years ago and there was nothing like that.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

I do hope that young men and women will start to think for themselves and start to take responsibility for their own thoughts.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

I have enough of life in me t...

I have enough of life in me to make somebody jealous enough to want to knock me down. I have so much courage in me that I have the effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up. That's it. That's how you get to know who you are.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

My great blessing is my son, ...

My great blessing is my son, but I have daughters. I have white ones and Black ones and fat ones and thin ones and pretty ones and plain. I have gay ones and straight. I have daughters. I have Asian ones, I have Jewish ones, I have Muslim ones.

Courage, I don't think anybody is born with courage. I think you may be born with a flair to braggadocio, you know. That's not courage.

Because of technological breakthroughs, the society will need fewer and fewer unskilled laborers.
