More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Intent and service-that is my motto.
Oprah Winfrey
We often block our own blessings because we don't feel inherently good enough or smart enough or pretty enough or worthy enough... You're worthy because you are born and because you are here. Your being here, your being alive makes worthiness your birthright. You alone are enough.
Oprah Winfrey
I've seen that many times in rural African villages where people have nothing but a hut and a bowl. The joy in the children's eyes is something you wish you could package and bring back to America.
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
An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Oprah Winfrey
Take what you can do and use it for the highest good to benefit others.

Oprah Winfrey
Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?
Oprah Winfrey
When you don't know what to do, do nothing. Get quiet so you can hear the still, small voice.
Oprah Winfrey
Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning - one that leads you toward becoming the fullest human being you can be.
Oprah Winfrey
I will not be taking a paternity test, ever!
Oprah Winfrey
If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. That is the lesson, and that lesson alone will save you a lot of grief.
Oprah Winfrey
I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book falls within and also the authenticity of the work.
Oprah Winfrey
Difficulties 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
Oprah Winfrey
I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.
Oprah Winfrey
I truly understand that there is a lesson in everything that happens to us. So I tried not to spend my time asking Why did this happen to me? but trying to figure out why I had chosen this.
Oprah Winfrey
People have power to make a difference in their lives.
Oprah Winfrey
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.
Oprah Winfrey
What you want to do is to get to the point where you only do what matters to you. The real goal in life is to become more of who you are, so that you can make the choices that really satisfy who you are and what you want to do.
