In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah
on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she
thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was "exciting."
Regarding body changes, she said there were many,
occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem
to be in a race to see which will reach her waist,
first.The audience laughed so hard they cried.
She is such a simple and honest woman,
with so much wisdom in her words!
Maya Angelou said this:
"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 regardless of your relationship
with your parents, you'll miss them when they're
gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same
thing as "making a life."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second
chance."
"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 whenever I decide something
with an open heart, I usually make the right
decision."
"I've learned that even when I have pains,
I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out
and touch someone. People love a warm hug,
or just a friendly pat on the back."
"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn."
"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."
