On the birthday of one of the best literary icons, Maya Angelou, we decided to inspire you with a list of her ten best quotes. She was not just a poet, but a singer and civil rights activist so her quotes come from a place of passion and righteousness.

1. “Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.”

2. “We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”

3. “I have a son, who is my heart. A wonderful young man, daring and loving and strong and kind.”

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. “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

6. “If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.”

7. “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

8. “If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love.”

9. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

10. “Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”
