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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyWhat I know is, if you do work that you love, and work that fulfills you, the rest will come. I truly believe the reason I’ve been so financially successful is because my focus has never been on the money.
Author: Oprah WinfreyDuct tape is like the force. It has a light side, and it holds the world together.
Author: Oprah WinfreyI 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyFollowing your heart’s desire will lead you in the direction your spirit wants to go.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe energy we put out in the world is the energy we get back. So if you want more love in your life, set your intention to be more loving.

Conversely, if you wonder why there are so many angry people in your life, look no further than the resentment you hold in your own heart.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe only courage you will need is the courage to live the life you are meant to.

Author: Oprah WinfreySay “Thank You” because your faith is so strong that you don’t doubt that what ever the problem, you’ll get through it. You’re saying thank-you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, God has put a rainbow in the clouds.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe commonality in the human experience is the same. We have the same sorrows, and the same triumphs. Joy is joy is joy.
Author: Oprah WinfreyWhat 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe true meaning of courage is to be afraid – and then, with your knees knocking and your heart racing, take the leap anyway.
Author: Oprah WinfreyTake the ideas that speak to you. Use your imagination. Create something wonderful.
Author: Oprah WinfreyIn order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.

Author: Oprah WinfreyIt 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyTrue self-esteem is realizing that you are valuable because you were born. No matter where you came from, what color your skin is, what people say about your family or what mean things people may have done to you, because you were born, you are important and you matter.
Author: Oprah WinfreyStep through new doors. The majority of the time there’s something fantastic on the other side.

Author: Oprah WinfreyNobody’s journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. It’s just life’s way of saying, ‘Time to change course.’
Author: Oprah WinfreyCheck 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe struggle of my life created empathy – I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThe future is full of possibility, whether you make one tiny change – or a whole invigorating, thrilling, inspiring bunch of them.
Author: Oprah WinfreyYou 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyReal success means creating a life of meaning through service that fulfills your reason for being here.
Author: Oprah WinfreyI used to have a fake Louis Vuitton bag because I thought it meant something in life. But now I realize that all the things in the world don’t define you. It’s what you stand for, what you’re willing to do, how close to the truth you’re willing to be in your life.
Author: Oprah WinfreyNothing is ever wrong. We learn from every step we take. Whatever you did today was the way it was meant to be. Be proud of you.

Author: Oprah WinfreyWell, I am a Christian who believes that there are certainly many more paths to God other than Christianity.
Author: Oprah WinfreyDifficulties 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyThat’s what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that’s a powerful thing.
Author: Oprah WinfreyI finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.

Author: Oprah WinfreyMany things in life inspire philanthropy, such as your faith in humanity and your belief in the human spirit to overcome.

Author: Oprah WinfreyWhat has made me successful is the ability to surrender my plans, dreams and goals to a power that’s greater than other people and greater than myself.
Author: Oprah WinfreyI 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.

Author: Oprah WinfreyI believe that education is freedom. It provides the tools to affect one’s own destiny.
Author: Oprah WinfreyIf 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyI 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.
Author: Oprah WinfreyHonor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart and success will come to you.
Author: Oprah WinfreyWhatever 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.
