For me to live in a world that is not inclusive of other people who are not Christian would be the opposite of Christianity.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. A mentor is someone who allows you to know that no matter how dark the night, in the morning joy will come. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when sometimes it becomes hidden to your own view.
Oprah Winfrey

Life has taught me to just be the best I can be.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
Dream the biggest dream for yourself. Hold the highest vision of life for yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.
Oprah Winfrey

Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.

I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.

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

Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To do less than your best is a sin. Every single one of us has the power for greatness, because greatness is determined by service-to yourself and to others.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.

I will not be taking a paternity test, ever!
Oprah Winfrey
Image
Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
You will be wounded many times in your life. You'll make mistakes. Some people will call them failures but I have learned that failure is really God's way of saying, Excuse me, you're moving in the wrong direction. It's just an experience, just an experience.

Waking up early on Saturday gives me an edge in finishing my work with a very relaxed state of mind. There is a feeling of time pressure on weekdays that aren’t there on weekends. If I wake up early in the morning before anybody else, I can plan the day or at least my activities with relaxed mind.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
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.
Oprah Winfrey
Image
My first deepening of spirituality came when I was 6, when I was moved from my grandmother and sent to live with my mother - whom I really did not know - who had moved to Milwaukee. Something inside myself knew that I was never going to see my grandmother again - I would be wasting my time to live in that space of wanting that.

No experience is ever wasted. Everything has meaning.

I know for sure that's what we're here to do: Keep the joy thing going for all seasons.
Oprah Winfrey

You become what you believe - not what you wish or want but what you truly believe. Wherever you are in life, look at your beliefs. They put you there.

You don't have a man, you need spaghetti.
