She spoke and wrote with such power and such grace.

Her words ooze strength.

Often when I read her quotes, I just can’t help but smile.

Here are 12 Maya Angelou quotes that will make you feel like you can fly:

1. “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.”

5. “I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.”

6. “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.”

7. “If one has courage, nothing can dim the light which shines from within.”
