More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
I've talked to nearly 30,000, people on this show, and all 30,000, had one thing in common: They all wanted validation...I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire.
Oprah Winfrey
If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are. It shouldn't change you. If you're a jerk, you just get to be a bigger jerk. What fame does is magnify who you are and puts that on a platter for the whole world to see.
Oprah Winfrey
If you take care of your body, it'll take care of you.
Oprah Winfrey
There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.
Oprah Winfrey
When you have more respect for yourself and put yourself in a position where you feel your sense of value or worth, that's how you know you're on the right path.
Oprah Winfrey
If you are a woman living, you've been done wrong by a man.
Oprah Winfrey
We are Spiritual Beings have a Human Experience. Not the other way around.
Oprah Winfrey
How can you say you're trying to spiritually evolve, without even a thought about what happens to the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony?
Oprah Winfrey
I was happy over little things: mango sorbet, and running, and the way my feet felt touching the ground when I ran.
Oprah Winfrey
You are the single biggest influence in your life.
Oprah Winfrey
I have crossed over on the backs of Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Madam C. J. Walker. Because of them I can now live the dream. I am the seed of the free, and I know it. I intend to bear great fruit.
Oprah Winfrey
Are you ready to stop colluding with a culture that makes so many of us feel physically inadequate? Say goodbye to your inner critic, and take this pledge to be kinder to yourself and others.
Oprah Winfrey
A gift isn't a gift unless it has meaning. Just giving things to people, especially children, create the expectation of more things.
Oprah Winfrey
Learn to let your intuition-gut instinct-tell you when the food, the relationship, the job isn't good for you (and conversely, when what you're doing is just right).
Oprah Winfrey
Tune out the naysayers, tune into your own courage, and take a bold step toward the passion-filled life you really want.
Oprah Winfrey
What 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.
Oprah Winfrey
Often when someone comes to you and wants to vent, it's so tempting to start giving advice. But if you allow the person just to let the feelings out, and then at another time come back with advice or comments, that person would experience a deeper healing.
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
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.
Oprah Winfrey
I grew up in the Baptist Church, and going to church with my father I remember being 8 years old, trying to determine whether I was really ready to give up sin, and for days I agonized.
Oprah Winfrey
