I remember in one of her interviews with Oprah she wept when she said "God loves me so much". And that statement has changed my relationship with God. I realized how much I am loved by God.

To keep my calm during adversity. I keep reminding myself of her famous quote. “When someone show you who they are. Believe them.”

From a traumatic childhood, I made poor choices as I aged. Until I heard Maya's quote "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." This idea that we have skewed childhood logic and an unreasonable level of responsibility to what happened to us changed my life. I was able to see I was only a child dealing the best way I could. And in many ways I stayed a "child" until my 40's. I became an addiction treatment counselor and often paraphrased Maya's message as "You did what you knew how to do and when you knew better, you did better."

She was down here in the south a couple of young white boys was following her through the airport teasing her. Probably saying unpleasant things as they walked behind her giggling. She stopped and took them aside and spoke to them. I don't know what she said. But from a distance they walked off humbled and wiping their eyes... She was so composed and continue on her way greeting on lookers with a smile, like she was gone love no matter what they say. Many years ago... REST IN THE POWER OF LOVE BEAUTIFUL

She's the reason why I love reading and poetry.

I had the privilege of hearing Ms. Angelou speak in person at my HBCU alma mater back in ‘96. I remember the assembly room, packed with college students, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. We hung on her every word! Her way of speaking is soothing to the soul. Her wisdom is classic and timeless. She will go down as one the the greatest writers and orators of all time. 🕊

The epitome of grace and elegance of soul.

It's true, when you accept that death is inevitable, then you give life your best shot at living.

[lauriewolfe]

"Either eat your words or stand by them." Such truth.

"And, there is nothing quite so tragic as a young cynic, because it means the the person goes has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing"... I hope we all give our young more to believe in.

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1, 520 subs and > 1, 000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

What a lady. A legend. What she did for humanity and peoples souls isn’t quantifiable. Thank you. Rest easy.

[hoosierbaddy]

One thing she said that I still consider daily is; ‘people will usually forget what you say, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel’. It’s a great quote for a world over involved in semantics. It’s a lesson I’m learning constantly. Make people feel good about themselves from the opening interactions with them. It’s HOW you say things that affects others. Not necessarily the verbiage itself.

I once hugged a teacher who had constantly been bullying me at work and she weepers like a baby.She carried on with her abusive behavior and I just let her be and changed my perspective of her.
