“Don’t wait for someone else to complete you. ‘Jerry Maguire’ was just a movie.”
— Oprah Winfrey
“What I find powerful is a person with the confidence to be her own self.”
“One of the biggest mistakes humans make is to believe there is only one way. There are many diverse paths leading to what you call God.”
“If things go wrong and you hit a dead end-as you will-it’s just life’s way of saying it’s time to change course.”
“What I’ve learned about being angry with people is that it generally hurts you more than it hurts them.”
“If something feels right, I do it. If it feels wrong, I don’t. It’s really very, very simple, but you’ve got to be willing to take your chances doing stuff that may look crazy to other people – or not doing something that looks right to others but just feels wrong to you.”
“Whatever you fear most has no power – it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But if you allow your fear to seep into your mind and overtake your thoughts, it will rob you of your life.”
“I see all art as a complement to telling people’s stories. I’m in the storytelling business. I believe that the humanity that all of us share is the stories of our lives, and everybody has a story. Your story is as important as the next person’s story.”
“If you allow yourself to breathe into the depth, wonder, beauty, craziness, and strife everything that represents the fullness of your life you can live fearlessly. Because you come to realize that if you just keep breathing, you cannot be conquered.”

“What matters is how you feel inside, because feeling beautiful on the inside is key to looking good.”
“The miracle of your existence calls for celebration every day.”

“You have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”
“I believe that there are forces of light and darkness in the world, and I don’t want to be a contributor to the force of darkness.”
“What I know for sure is that the only way to endure the quake is to adjust your stance. You can’t avoid the daily tremors. Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand.”
“I believe the choice to become a mother is the choice to become one of the greatest spiritual teachers there is.”
“Don’t worry about being successful. Worry about being significant.”
“Being a mother is the hardest job on earth. Women everywhere must declare it so.”
“Real success means creating a life of meaning through service that fulfills your reason for being here.”
“Make the right decision even when nobody’s looking and you will always turn out okay.”
“When you know who you are and what you stand for, you stand in wisdom.”
“Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart and success will come to you.”
“The reason I’ve been able to be so financially successful is my focus has never, ever for one minute been money.”
“All the money in the world doesn’t mean a thing if you don’t have time to enjoy it.”
“There is a lesson in almost everything that you do, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It is how you enrich your spirit.”
“Mr. Right is coming, but he’s in Africa and he’s walking.”
“Bravery shows up in everyday life when people have the courage to live their truth, their vision and their dreams.”
“Your gut is your inner compass. Whenever you have to consult with other people for an answer, you’re headed in the wrong direction.”
“Check your ego at the door and check your gut instead. Every right decision I have ever made has come from my gut. Every wrong decision I’ve made was the result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself.”
“The roles we play in each other’s lives are only as powerful as the trust and connection between us – the protection, safety, and caring we are willing to share.”
“The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn’t work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.”
“I’ve learned that you can’t have everything and do everything at the same time.”
“One of the things that I encourage for anybody who is interested in their own charity or philanthropy is to start from where you are and what has mattered to you.”
“I believe that education is freedom. It provides the tools to affect one’s own destiny.”
“Step through new doors. The majority of the time there’s something fantastic on the other side.”
“Inner wisdom is more important than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.”
“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.”
“You really haven’t changed, you’ve just become more of yourself. That is really what were all trying to do: become more of ourselves.”
“Happiness is there for the taking – and the making.”
“I can’t imagine I could have become the person I am now without books. Books became synonymous with freedom. They showed that you could open doors and walk through.”
“Doubt means don’t. Don’t move. Don’t answer. Don’t rush forward.”
“It’s all about dreams. If I had to attribute my success in life to any one thing it is this. I believed in my dreams, even when no one else did.”
“A gift isn’t a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things.”
“I believe that one of life’s greatest risks is never daring to risk.”
“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.”
“Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace – a connection to what matters.”
“Making a Different Choice Gives You the Opportunity to Live a Different Life.”
“What I know for sure: Often we don’t even realize who we’re meant to be because we’re so busy trying to live out someone else’s ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny.”
