More Quotes by Maya Angelou
Every journey begins with a single step.

When you know you are of worth, you don't have to raise your voice, you don't have to become rude, you don't have to become vulgar; you just are. And you are like the sky is, as the air is, the same way water is wet. It doesn't have to protest.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. Try to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud. Do not complain. Make every effort to change things you do not like. If you cannot make a change, change the way you have been thinking. You might find a new solution.
Continue. Be loving and be strong. Be fierce and be kind. And don't give in and don't give up.'
My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.
If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully. But the wisest course would be to be present in the present gratefully.
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
