I want to be representative of my race-the human race. I have a chance to show how kind we can be, how intelligent and generous we can be.

We are more alike than unalike.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Strictly speaking, one cannot...

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.

Modesty is a learned affectat...

Modesty is a learned affectation. It's no good. Humility is great, because humility says, 'There was someone before me. I'm following in somebody's footsteps.'

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.

I had to trust life and believe that life loved the person who dared to live it.

When I look back, I am so imp...

When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.

Therefore we pledge to bind
...

Therefore we pledge to bind
ourselves to one another, to embrace
our lowliest, to keep company with
our loneliest, to educate our illiterate,
to feed our starving, to clothe our
ragged, to do all good things,
knowing that we are more than
keepers of our brothers and sisters.
We are our brothers and sisters

Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.

Something made greater by ourselves and in turn that makes us greater.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

You have to deal with what you encounter. But you must not be reduced. And so a way not to be reduced is don't whine! Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

It's hard because people thin...

It's hard because people think they have something to lose and the truth is they have everything to gain in trying to love somebody.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Being thankful helps you to b...

Being thankful helps you to be present.People commit errors because they are not present.I would encourage women and men to be present - you'll avoid falling into certain pits.For instance, if you know that a person has just lost his wife or her husband or lover, it's unlikely that you will say something that will hurt that person's feelings if you're truly paying attention. You'll make a sweeter life for yourself and for those around you if you are present.

I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

All people in the world - who...

All people in the world - who are not hermits or mutes - speak words. They speak different languages, but they speak words. They say, "How are you" or "I'm not feeling well" all over the world. These common words - these common elements that we have between us - the writer has to take some verbs and nouns and pronouns and adjectives and adverbs and arrange them in a way that sound fresh.

It may in fact be utterly impossible to be successful without helping others to become successful.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

I'm convinced that I'm a chil...

I'm convinced that I'm a child of God. That's wonderful, exhilarating, liberating, full of promise. But the burden which goes along with that is, I'm convinced that everybody is a child of God. . . . I weep a lot. I thank God I laugh a lot, too. The main thing in one's own private world is to try to laugh as much as you cry.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

The first thing I do in the m...

The first thing I do in the morning when I awaken is say, 'Thank you, Lord!' I'm grateful to be alive, and I'm going to try to tell the truth as well as I know and tell it as eloquently as I can so that people can hear it.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Never, never let a person kno...

Never, never let a person know you're frightened. And a group of them ... absolutely never. Fear brings out the worst in everybody.

Maya Angelou 1013 quotes

Prepare yourself so that you ...

Prepare yourself so that you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud.
