Famous quotes by Maya Angelou:

"If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love."

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you."

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."

"Nothing will work unless you do."

"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"

"i can be changed by what happens to me. but i refuse to be reduced by it."

"While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation."

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."

"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."

"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver."

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."

"The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance."

"All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened."

"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself."

"All great achievements require time."

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."

"Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean."

"If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die."

"If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded."
