Oprah Winfrey

“When you know better...You do better.”

“Start embracing the life that is calling you and use your life to serve the world.”

“Forgiveness is about letting go of the past and not holding on to it”

“Everybody looks at their poop.”

“When people show you who they are ... believe them!”

“The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.”

“I don't want anyone who doesn't want me.”

“Difficulties come when you don't pay attention to life's whisper. Life always whispers to you first, but if you ignore the whisper, sooner or later you'll get a scream”

“If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.”

“You are responsible for your life. You can't keep blaming somebody else for your dysfunction. Life is really about moving on.”

“Whatever you fear most has no power--it is your fear that has the power”

“I believe there's a calling for all of us. I know that every human being has value and purpose. The real work of our lives is to become aware. And awakened. To answer the call.”

“You aren't your past, you are probability of your future.”

“The great courageous act that we must all do, is to have the courage to step out of our history and past so that we can live our dreams.”

“It all boils down to one thing...it is your ‘relationship’ to the source, and that relationship to that which we call God, or don’t call God, or don’t even know...is God. It is ALL that really matters...when you surrender, and stop resisting, and stop trying to change that which you cannot change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you have already received, and those that are yet to come to you, and stand in that space of gratitude, and honor, and claim that for yourself, and look at where you are, and how far you have come, and what you’ve gotten, and what you’ve accomplished, and who you are. When you can claim ‘that’, and see that, the literal vibration of your life will change. The Vibration of Your Life Will Change.”

“Anda bertanggung jawab atas kehidupan anda. Anda tidak bisa terus menerus menyalahkan orang lain untuk kesalahan-kesalahan dalam hidup anda. Hidup ini sebenarnya adalah tentang melanjutkan kehidupan itu sendiri.”

“What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction”

“Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.”

“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different.”

“It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you - always.”

“Mr. Right is coming, but he's in Africa and he's walking.”

“I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.”

“You face the biggest challenge of all: to have the courage to seek your big dream regardless of what anyone says. You are the only person alive who can see your big picture and even you can't see it all.”

“The essential question is not, "How busy are you?' but 'What are you busy at?' 'Are you doing what fulfills you?”

“I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them - there's only us. ”

“Even as a kid, my memories are of books taking me out of myself.”

“You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.”

“You are where you are in life because of what you believe is possible for yourself.”

“I will tell you that there have been no failures in my life. I don't want to sound like some metaphysical queen,but there have been no failures. There have been some tremendous lessons.”

“I have a special pair of poop shoes under my desk. Whenever I need to drop a deuce, I slip them on and scurry to the restroom, and no one ever knows it's me. Like, if I'm wearing Louboutins that day, and my producer sees Earth shoes in the stall....well, you get the idea. It was truly a lightbulb moment when that came to me.”

“Everything happens for a reason, even when we are not wise enough to see it. When there is no struggle, there is no strength.”

“Live your best life!”

“I don't believe in failure. It's not failure if you enjoy the process.”

“Its Like Joy Rising”

“You look at yourself and you accept yourself for who you are, and once you accept yourself for who you are you become a better person.”

“Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and there discovered was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.”

“My idea is to give hope, because where there is no hope, there is no vision, and where there is no vision, people will perish.”

“With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.”

“Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.”

“Think like a queen. A queen if not afraid to fail. Failure is another stepping stone to greatness.”

“I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.”

“To love yourself is a never-ending journey.”

“Only make decisions that support your self-image, self-esteem, and self-worth.”

“It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.”

“You did the best you could, the best you knew how at the time." It was something like that. From Oprah on an Oprah show. Then I believe my quote above was from Maya Angelou on the Oprah show, not Oprah herself. I had heard it before but it was on Oprah's show again 1-7-09 and she said Maya had said it.”

“What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.”

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”

“I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.”

“Your calling isn’t something that somebody can tell you about. It’s what you feel. It is the thing that gives you juice. The thing that you are supposed to do. And nobody can tell you what that is. You know it inside yourself.”

“I’ve learned not to worry about what might come next.”
