Maya Angelou

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. A friend of mine sent me a list of quotes from that interview. I wanted to share a few with all of you.

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights."

"I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same things as 'making a life'."

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."

"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've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
