More quotes by Oprah Winfrey
I will just create, and if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, I'll create something else. I don't have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.
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
Everybody has a calling. And your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.
Oprah Winfrey
What has made me successful is the ability to surrender my plans, dreams and goals to a power that's greater than other people and greater than myself.
Oprah Winfrey
I consider this world to be like a school and our lives to be the classrooms.
Oprah Winfrey
We are held accountable for every intention, which is why you are sitting where you are right now.
Oprah Winfrey
I have created a life by stepping out of the box of people's limitations. I call it zigging when others are zagging.
Oprah Winfrey
The truth is I have from the very beginning listened to my instincts. All of my best decisions in life have come because I was attuned to what really felt like the next right move for me.
Oprah Winfrey
It does not matter how you came into the world, what matters is that you are here.
Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey
I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them - there's only us.
Oprah Winfrey
You want to make decisions that are meaningful to you, and that are going to continue to enhance you being who you really are and what your message to the world is, and everybody has one. The real important thing is to know what that message is and how you want to carry that forward.
Oprah Winfrey
It makes no difference how many peaks you reach if there was no pleasure in the climb.
Oprah Winfrey
Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
Oprah Winfrey
Allowing the truth of who you are-your spiritual self-to rule your life means you stop the struggle and learn to move with the flow of your life.
Oprah Winfrey
I live in the space where God is. There is no question that that is why I am where I am, and why I have had the success that I've had, is because I allow myself to be guided by that which is greater than myself - than my personality.
Oprah Winfrey
I love what the church offers to us as a culture - black people in particular. We would be nowhere without the black church.
Oprah Winfrey
When you educate a girl, you begin to change the face of a nation.
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.
Oprah Winfrey
I'm always interested in people being able to share stories that allow us to see the landscape of human foibles, challenges, and ultimately triumph.
Oprah Winfrey
