Mary Angelou on Life

 




MAYA ANGELOU on LIFE

* No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

* You can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

* Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

* Making a “living” is not the same thing as “making a life”.

* Life sometimes gives you a second chance.

* You shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.

* Whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

* Even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

* Every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

* People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.


Dr. Maya Angelou is an American author, poet, historian, songwriter, playwright, dancer, stage and screen producer, director, performer, singer, and civil rights activist. She penned these thoughts on her 70th birthday.
