To kick things off, [television show host Andy Cohen] asked the last time Winfrey had smoked marijuana. 'Uh ... 1982,' Winfrey replied. 'Let's hang out after the show,' Cohen joked. 'Okay,' Winfrey laughed. 'I hear it's gotten better.'
My father turned my life around insisting I be more than I was and by believing I could be more.
When you run a race, you hurt your ability to compete when you turn your head to look at the competition chasing you, you lose a step physically and psychologically. Run the race always stretching to do your best, imitations will come in last, no one can catch an original.
Failure is a stepping-stone to greatness.
There is a lesson in almost everything that you do, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It is how you enrich your spirit.
An nice lady in the back...asked what I thought about how we begin to move forward. I think it is up to each individual, which then moves to your family, which moves to your community. Each person, in their own life, let your life be a light for peace, for justice, for all that is good. Just let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
I was happy over little things: mango sorbet, and running, and the way my feet felt touching the ground when I ran.
Life isn't about what you have but what you have to give.
The truth is I have from the very beginning listened to my instincts. All of my best decisions in life have come because I was attuned to what really felt like the next right move for me.
If it never rained, nothing would grow.
It does not matter how you came into the world, what matters is that you are here.
There is no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!
If you live in the past and allow the past to define who you are, then you never grow.
It doen't matter what you've been through, where you come from... none of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give to the world.
Never for a moment allow your greatness to interfere with your goodness.
Strength times strength times strength times strength times strength times strength means power.
Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, that we should try something different
Take five minutes to center yourself in the morning...Set your intention every day.
Whatever your calling or purpose is, it's your job to feel it. No gift that you have been given was made for yourself.
I couldn't kill myself. I would be afraid the minute I did it; something really good would happen and I'd miss it.
You know that old joke about the guy who lives to be 104? The punch line goes something like 'If I knew I was gonna get this old, I'd have taken much better care of myself.' Well, guess what? We actually are living longer, and the time to start taking care of ourselves is right this minute.
I'm not even kind of a lesbian.
If you can see it, and believe it, it is a LOT easier to achieve it
I only got the opportjnity to co-host a talk show because I failed at news.
Don't put a ceiling on yourself.
