Oprah's Quotes
- Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.
- We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
- We are each responsible for our own life - no other person is or even can be.
- Don't live your life to please other people.
- With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
- Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.
- I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
- Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power.
- Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
- You can take from every experience what it has to offer you. And you cannot be defeated if you just keep taking one breath followed by another.
- I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
- Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
- Turn your wounds into wisdom.
- Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.
- I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.
- I'm black, I don't feel burdened by it and I don't think it's a huge responsibility. It's part of who I am. It does not define me.
- It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures, new directions to grow in, and new lessons to learn - which is what life is all about.
- It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.
- Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.
- The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.
- Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.
- I believe that [everyone] is the keeper of a dream - and by tuning into one another's secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.
- You are what you are by what you believe!
- I don't move on logic. I move on my gut. And, I have a good gut.
- Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand.
- Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.
- My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.
- Every time you state what you want or believe, you're the first to hear it. It's a message to both you and others about what you think is possible. Don't put a ceiling on yourself.
- I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time.
- The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
- Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.
- Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.
- For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out. The light doesn't always necessarily have to be in your family; for me it was teachers and school.
- The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.

- You are built not to shrink down to less but to blossom into more.
- Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
- Though I'm grateful for the blessings of wealth, it hasn't changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I'm just wearing better shoes.
- Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
