" Maya Angelou, who died yesterday, had wisdom to share on pretty much every facet of life&amp;amp;#8212;success, ambition, and self-respect. So it&amp;#x27;s not surprising her words on love would work beautifully on your wedding day. Here are six wedding-ready Maya Angelou quotes I adore: 1. &amp;quot;I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn&amp;#x27;t just hold&amp;amp;#8212;that&amp;#x27;s ego. Love liberates. It doesn&amp;#x27;t bind. Love says, &amp;#x27;I love you. I love you if you&amp;#x27;re in China. I love you if you&amp;#x27;re across town. I love you if you&amp;#x27;re in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I&amp;#x27;d like to have your arms around me. I&amp;#x27;d like to hear your voice in my ear. But that&amp;#x27;s not possible now, so I love you. Go.&amp;#x27;&amp;quot; That one&amp;#x27;s perfect for a short wedding reading&amp;amp;#8212;and we all know short wedding readings are the best kind. (While we&amp;#x27;re at it, here are 10 more wedding readings that don&amp;#x27;t suck, from your favorite books, TV shows, and movies.) And these are perfect for incorporating into your vows or a wedding speech&amp;amp;#8212;or to print on your program, a sweet sign on your bar or guestbook table, or even cocktail napkins. 2. &amp;quot;My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.&amp;quot; 3. &amp;quot;Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.&amp;quot; 4. &amp;quot;If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love.&amp;quot; 5. &amp;quot;I know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all.&amp;quot; 6. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.&amp;quot; Which one of these Maya Angelou quotes is your favorite? Would you incorporate any in your wedding? P.S. 16 more unforgettable things Maya Angelou wrote and said.
