Her words were often simple and always powerful.
Wednesday marks what would have been the 90th birthday author and poet Maya Angelou. Angelou, who died in 2014, left behind a legacy of words of wisdom that were simple but always powerful. Here’s a look at just a few of them. »If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. » »Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope. » »You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. » »Try to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. » »You may shoot me with your words,You may cut me with your eyes,You may kill me with your hatefulness,But still, like air, I’ll rise. » »We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. »
