If you want what you're saying heard, then take your time and say it so that the listener will actually hear it. You might save somebody's life. Your own, first.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
At one time, you could sit on the Rue de la Paix in Paris or at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv or in Medina and you could see a person come in, black, white, it didn't matter. You said, 'That's an American' because there's a readiness to smile and to talk to people.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Without defeats, how do you really know who the hell you are? If you never had to stand up to something - to get up, to be knocked down, and to get up again - life can walk over you wearing football cleats. But each time you do get up, you're bigger, taller, finer, more beautiful, more kind, more understanding, more loving. Each time you get up, you're more inclusive. More people can stand under your umbrella.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
The truth is you never can leave home. You take it with you everywhere you go. It's under your skin. It moves the tongue or slows it, colors the thinking, impedes upon the logic.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I believe talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral, or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that. It makes no judgment. I think talent is like that. I believe every person is born with talent.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you.
Quote by -Muhammad Ali
“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I think you are wrong, Basil, but I won't argue with you. It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“You are a wonderful creation. You know more than you think you know, just as you know less than you want to know.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Poets are not so scrupulous as you are. They know how useful passion is for publication. Nowadays a broken heart will run to many editions."
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Explore, and explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatise yourself, nor accept another’s dogmatism. Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, for the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make yourself necessary to the world, and mankind will give you bread, and if not store of it, yet such as shall not take away your property in all men’s possessions, in all men’s affections, in art, in nature, and in hope.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“You, who know all the secrets of life, tell me how to charm Sibyl Vane to love me! I want to make Romeo jealous, I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your reactions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“From the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me. I was dominated, soul brain and power.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Be not the slave of your own past – plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is all light, and publishes itself to the universe. It will speak, though you were dumb, by its own miraculous organ. It will flow out of your actions, your manners, and your face. It will bring you friendships. It will impledge you to truth by the love and expectation of generous minds.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“tone of colour in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play— I tell you, Dorian, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
"Not with Women," said the duchess, shaking her head; "and women rule the world. I assure you we can't bear mediocrities. We women, as someone says, love with our ears, just as you men love with your eyes, if you ever love at all."
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“Yes,’ he cried, ‘you have killed my love! You used to stir my imagination. Now you don’t even stir my curiosity. You simply produce no effect. I loved you because you were marvelous, because you had genius and intellect, because you realized the dreams of great poets and gave shape and substance to the shadows of art. You have thrown it all away. You are shallow and stupid. My God! how mad I was to love you! What a fool I have been! You are nothing to me now. I will never see you again. I will never think of you. I will never mention your name. You can’t know what you were to me, once. Why, once… Oh, I can’t bear to think of it! I wish I had never laid eyes upon you! You have spoiled the romance of my life. How little you can know of love if you say it mars your art! Without your art you are nothing. I would have made you famous, splendid, magnificent. The world would have worshiped you, and you would have borne my name. What are you now? A third-rate actress with a pretty face.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“I wish you would tell me your secret. To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, or be respectable.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“You are a sceptic." "Never! Scepticism is the beginning of faith." "What are you?" "To define is to limit.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Do not say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders, so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“If you’re not making mistakes then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes.”
Quote by -John Wooden
