Oprah Winfrey

• Although there may be tragedy in your life, there's always a possibility to triumph. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from. The ability to triumph begins with you. Always.
• Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
• 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.
• Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.
• Follow your instincts. That is where true wisdom manifests itself.
• I don't believe in failure. It's not failure if you enjoyed the process.
• I know that inner wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
• If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.
• 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.
• Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
• The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.
• The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
• The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
• Turn your wounds into wisdom.
• Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
• With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice.
• You can have it all. You just can't have it all at once.
