O prah !

My favourite Oprah quotes:

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi. 

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. 

Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. 

Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. 

Excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. 

Follow your instincts. That's where true wisdom manifests itself. 

For everyone of us that succeeds, it's because there's somebody there to show you the way out. 

I always knew I was destined for greatness. 

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. 

I believe that every single event in life happens in an opportunity to choose love over fear.  

I don't believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process. 

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good. 

I don't think you ever stop giving. I really don't. I think it's an on-going process. And it's not just about being able to write a check. It's being able to touch somebody's life. 

Luck is when preparation meeting opportunity.  

I still have my feet on the ground, I just wear better shoes. 

If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are. 

If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit. 

It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control. 

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. 

Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you. 

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

So go ahead. Fall down. The world looks different from the ground. 

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher. 

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

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude. 

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate. 

The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be. 

Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility. 

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have. 

What God intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine. 

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives. 

When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes. 

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. 

Where there is no struggle, there is no strength. 

You CAN have it all. You just can't have it all at once. 

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
