More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
Oprah Winfrey
I believe your personality is formed at a very early age. Fame can magnify that personality, for good or bad, but it can't change it. So when people say to me, 'Don't change,' I'm thinking, To what? To who? Who else would I be?
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
You CAN have it all. You just can't have it all at once.
Oprah Winfrey
I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint
Oprah Winfrey
Back then, a few doilies and napkins were all that a lot of women had. In the little house where I grew up, the pillowcases my grandmother embroidered were the only things of beauty.
Oprah Winfrey
I'm finally ready to own my own power, to say, This is who I am. If you like it, you like it. And if you don't like it, you don't. So watch out I'm gonna fly.
Oprah Winfrey
lack of self-esteem is what causes wars because people who really love themselves don't go out and try to fight other people ... It's the root of all the problems.
Oprah Winfrey
I think mentors are important and I don't think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship. Nobody makes it alone. Nobody has made it alone. And we are all mentors to people even when we don't know it.
Oprah Winfrey
I have a sense of greatness, which comes from feeling that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing on the planet - empowering people, especially women.
Oprah Winfrey
There's nothing worse than betraying yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
New York traffic can drive you crazy.
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
My goal is always, how do you get better?
Oprah Winfrey
You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love--who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.
Oprah Winfrey
People have power to make a difference in their lives.
Oprah Winfrey
What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it. Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.
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
You become excellent, and when you become excellent, no-one can take that away from you.
Oprah Winfrey
To this day I always say my prayers on my knees 'cause I think maybe they get there sooner.
Oprah Winfrey
