More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
I can't deny that Jerry Springer supposedly beating us didn't affect me. There was a point where I felt like, Golly, you work so hard, you try so hard and the people say they want meaningful television and then Jerry Springer ends up beating you. It was disturbing.
Oprah Winfrey
If you're blessed enough to grow older, which is how I look at aging, there's so much wisdom to be gained from people who are celebrating the process with vibrancy and vigor and grace.
Oprah Winfrey
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
Oprah Winfrey
Whatever your calling or purpose is, it's your job to feel it. No gift that you have been given was made for yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
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.
Oprah Winfrey
I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.
Oprah Winfrey
When I was going through menopause, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for two years and ended up blowing out my thyroid, and I became nonfunctional. It's difficult to remain fully present if I'm not getting enough sleep, so I work at getting enough.
Oprah Winfrey
Anybody who has ever done anything knows that, when you believe, it doesn't matter what other people think. You just have to keep finding a way to align your vision with other people who will receive and accept your vision. And when the time is right, if it is for you, it will show itself, if you believe.
Oprah Winfrey
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.
Oprah Winfrey
Getting my library card was like citizenship it was like American citizenship.
Oprah Winfrey
Appreciating what shows up in your life changes your personal vibration. Gratitude elevates your life to a higher frequency.
Oprah Winfrey
If you take care of your body, it'll take care of you.
Oprah Winfrey
No matter who you are, no matter what your culture is, it is absolutely possible to look out and extend yourself in such a way, that you can connect to other people and find that we are more alike than we are different.
Oprah Winfrey
If you are a woman living, you've been done wrong by a man.
Oprah Winfrey
Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.
Oprah Winfrey
Never give up your power to another person.
Oprah Winfrey
I trust in the ebb and flow of the universe. I trust that life's bigger than what I can see. I trust that there is a divine order beyond my control. And I trust that no matter what happens, I will be all right.
Oprah Winfrey
When you make loving others the story of your life, there's never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another.
Oprah Winfrey
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.
Oprah Winfrey
I did not believe what I was told about being poor and black and female in Mississippi in 1954.
