As a poet, author, actress, filmmaker, educator, and civil rights activist, Dr.

Maya Angelou is one of the

most renowned and influential voices of our time. Here are seven of my favorite quotes from Dr.
Angelou:

1. "Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it."

2. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath
away."

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

4. "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."

5. "Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination
full of hope."

6. "A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song."

7. "Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."
