安吉罗是当代美国黑人女诗人中的杰出代表，她的诗歌代表着鲜明的民族主义立场、“黑色权力”（为黑人种族争取自由和平等）以及黑人妇女的觉醒。

1 You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
或许你无法掌控自己的遭遇，但你可以决定自己是否因此而堕落。
2 If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. Don’t complain.
如果你不喜欢某件事，改变它；如果你不能改变它，就改变自己的态度。不要抱怨。
3 No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
无论发生什么，不管今天多么糟糕，生活依旧，明天会更好。
4 First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.
最美好的事莫过于爱上一个人，其次是与TA相爱，最糟糕的便是分手。但都好于从未爱过。
5 We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.
与其浪费宝贵的时间对无法逃避之事忧心忡忡，倒不如珍爱家人、珍惜朋友、享受生活，实为明智。
6 I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.
我从不相信不爱笑的人。
7 I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
学无止境。
8 I've learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as “making a life.”
我认为生存不同于生活。
9 Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
爱情面前畅行无碍，它将跨越栏杆、跳过栅栏、穿过围墙到达满怀憧憬的终点。
10 We need much less than we think we need.
我们想要的往往多于我们所需要的。
11 When you learn, teach.
When you get, give.
当你学有所悟，就分享你的领悟。
当你业有所就，就回馈你的成就。
12 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.
人们或会忘记你所说所做，但他们会铭记那时你给他们带来的感受。
13 You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
常常发挥自己的创造力，你会发现发挥的越多，拥有的越多。
14 You can only become truly accomplished doing 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.
做自己真正爱做的事，而不唯利是图。一个专心致志做自己喜欢的事并有所成就的人，才是个值得尊敬的人。
15 Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.
憎恨只会别生枝节，而对人无益。
16 When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.
回顾往事，文学作品的生命力让我记忆犹新。如果我现在还是年轻人，我还会像年轻时那样，通过阅读感知世界。
17 Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.
如果你对某人来说只是一个选项，就绝不要把他们当做你的首选。
18 There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
最苦恼的莫过于心中藏事却无法倾诉。
19 Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.
勇气是所有品质中最重要的。因为没有勇气，你就无法去保持其他的品质。
20 If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?
如果我自暴自弃，又何以期待他人对自己挚深重义。
22 You can never be great at anything unless you love it.
只有做自己爱做的事，才会做到最好。
23 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.
你可以用恶毒的言语侮辱我，
你可以用仇恨的眼神藐视我，
你也可用尽所有憎恨想方设法置我于死地，
尽管如此，就如同这无所不在的空气一样，我仍然屹立不倒。
