With age comes the understanding and appreciation of your most important asset, your health.

If you are a woman living, you've been done wrong by a man.

The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.

Wherever you are, that’s your stage, your circle of influence. That’s your talk show, that’s where your power lies. ... You have the power to change somebody’s life. Everyone has a calling, and your real job in life is to figure out what that is and get about the business of doing it.

If you neglect to recharge a battery, it dies. And if you run full speed ahead without stopping for water, you lose momentum to finish the race.

What I know for sure is that pleasure is energy reciprocated. What you put out comes back. Your base level of pleasure is determined by how you view your whole life.

What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it.

If you take care of your body, it'll take care of you.

It's all about dreams. If I had to attribute my success in life to any one thing it is this. I believed in my dreams, even when no one else did.

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there's never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another.

When you think about growing and being empowered yourself, it is what you've been able to do for other people that leaves you the fullest.

Most people honestly want to do as well as they can in their lives.

Love somebody. Just one person. And then spread that to two. And as many as you can. You'll see the difference it makes.

Look at how hard it was to get to where I am. It doesn't make sense to give it up.

Even people who believe they deserve to be happy and have nice things often don't feel worthy once they have them.

Meditate. Breathe consciously. Listen. Pay attention. Treasure every moment. Make the connection.

To me, the money is - it's certainly a wonderful thing. But it is in direct proportion to how you're able to bless yourself and bless others with it.

I had become so accustomed to succeeding that I no longer even remembered what it was like to fail.

No matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe, it is both possible and, more importantly, it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort.
