#FAMILY QUOTES BY MAYA ANGELOU FULL#

She said she thought, well i better start living my life that way because maybe i have something amazing to give to the world. She had a baby at 16, worked in a burlesque club and than in her 20’s her mother told her you are the most amazing woman i have ever known. She did not speak one word for 5 years thinking her voice killed him. Raped by her mother’s boyfriend at 7 yrs old. I watched a CNN report on her and had no idea what a hard younger life she had lived. I was looking up her quotes just yesterday. If you enjoyed this post you may like a similar post with quotes from Mother Teresa HERE.Īhhh, so glad you compiled all of these. I picked a couple of my favorites to share as individual prints too! Here is a printable version of these quotes by Maya Angelou: You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. When you wish someone joy, you wish them peace, love, prosperity, happiness… all the good things. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet. When you learn, teach, when you get, give. Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art. The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don’t know my story. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. To those who are given much, much is expected. Success is loving life and daring to live it. No one can take the place of a friend, no one. Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind. If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?Īsk for what you want and be prepared to get it! The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them. While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.

#FAMILY QUOTES BY MAYA ANGELOU FULL#

🙂 Maya Angelou was full of inspiration and shared it on a daily basis in her adult years prior to her death earlier today, Wednesday at the age of 86. Really? A yellow house? You know me, and that just made me pretty “happi”. My adoration for Maya Angelou grew even greater when I read that her primary residence was a cheery yellow color.
