I think people who have good parents are – they come into the world with a strength, yes, and an advantage.

I think that the idea of reaching young girls that are in college is something that we are strongly open to because who better wants to know how to live a more purposeful life than people who are starting out?

I think that when you invite people to your home, you invite them to yourself.

I truly understand that there is a lesson in everything that happens to us. So I tried not to spend my time asking ‘Why did this happen to me?’ but trying to figure out why I had chosen this.

Oprah Winfrey

I trust in the ebb and flow of the universe. I trust that life’s bigger than what I can see. I trust that there is a divine order beyond my control. And I trust that no matter what happens, I will be all right.

I try to basically keep my opinions to myself when it comes to people who are charged with crimes that I don’t know anything about.

Oprah Winfrey

I urge you to pursue preserving your personal history to allow your children and grandchildren to know who you were as a child and what your hopes and dreams were.

I used to have a fake Louis Vuitton bag because I thought it meant something in life. But now I realize that all the things in the world don’t define you. It’s what you stand for, what you’re willing to do, how close to the truth you’re willing to be in your life.

Oprah Winfrey

I want people to be more open and tolerant. I want them to know that behind every stranger is a backstory that is the common denominator – for we all share in the human experience: pain, sadness, grief, lack of love, and then, with hope and help, step by step achievements.

Oprah Winfrey

I want to use television not only to entertain, but to help people lead better lives.
