Quotes
  • All my life I have always known I was born to greatness.
  • I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.
  • Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
  • If all this happened to you what paradigm might you develop? How might that paradigm affect you in terms of your life from that point on? What does this tell you about Abe? There are no failures, only lessons to be learned.
  • That guy just cut right in front of me. But I'm not going to let it bother me. No. I'm on my way to work and I decided it doesn't matter who wants to cut in front of my lane today. I'm not going to let it bother me one bit. Once I get to work, find myself a parking space, if somebody wants to jump ahead of me and take it, I'm going to let them.
  • Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
  • Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
  • Everyone has to learn to think differently, bigger, to open to possibilities.
  • The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
  • If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the Spirit.
  • 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.
  • When I look into the future, it is so bright it burns my eyes.
  • Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
  • The man who believes he can do something is probably right, and so is the man who believes he can t. Anonymous I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as someone who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
  • 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.
  • Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself.
  • You can have it all. You just can't have it all at one time.
  • 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.
  • For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out.
  • I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism and sexism.
  • Turn your wounds into wisdom.
Oprah Gail Winfrey is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist. Winfrey is best known for her multi-award-winning talk show The Oprah Winfrey Show which was the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011. Dubbed the "Queen of All Media", she has been ranked the richest African-American of the 20th century, the greatest black philanthropist in American history, and is currently North America's only black billionaire. She is also, according to some assessments, the most influential woman in the world. In 2013, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama and an honorary doctorate degree from Harvard. Winfrey was born into poverty in rural Mississippi to a teenage single mother and later raised in an inner-city Milwaukee neighborhood. She experienced considerable hardship during her childhood, saying she was raped at age nine and became pregnant at 14; her son died in infancy.
