Oprah Winfrey

Life whispers to you all the time...from the time you wake up in the morning and with every single experience.

I can't imagine I could have become the person I am now without books. Books became synonymous with freedom. They showed that you could open doors and walk through.

If we're really committed to growth, we never stop discovering new dimensions of self and self-expression .

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

Whatever our dreams, ideas, or projects, we plant a seed, nurture it -- and then reap the fruits of our labors.

I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

You only have to believe that you can succeed, that you can be whatever your heart desires, be willing to work for it, and you can have it.

Don't put a ceiling on yourself.

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.

The pathway to your best life isn't the route of denial. It's owning every moment.

Twenty minutes in the morning, 20 in the evening. Transcendental Meditation teachers have taught everyone in my company who wanted to learn how to meditate. The results have been awesome. Better sleep. Improved relationships with spouses, children, coworkers. Some people who once suffered migraines don't anymore. Greater productivity and creativity all around.

The greatest contribution you can make to women's rights, is to be the absolute ... best at what you do.

Balance lives in the present. The surest way to lose your footing is to focus on what dreadful things might happen.

Knowing your deepest intention can be your guiding force in the creation of a better life.

God can dream a bigger dream for me, for you, than you could ever dream for yourself. When you've worked as hard and done as much and strived and tried and given and pled and bargained and hoped... Surrender. _x000D_ When you have done all that you can do, and there's nothing left for you to do, give it up. Give it up to that thing that is greater than yourself, and let it then become a part of the flow.

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.

When your life is on course with it’s purpose, you are your most powerful.

Once you clarify your purpose for doing something, the way to do it becomes clear

Follow your passion. It will lead you to your purpose.

Every choice in life either moves you forward or keeps you stuck.

You become what you believe. You are where you are today in your life based on everything you have believed.
