Oprah Winfrey

Your life isn't some big break. It's about taking one significant life-transforming step at a time.

Everything is always working out for me.

Your legacy is every life that you touch.

Your purpose is to do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

You're nothing if you're not the truth. I've made a living, I've made a life, I've made a fortune — all from being true to myself.

Having a closet full of shoes doesn't fill up your life. Living a life of substance can — substance through your service.

You will get nowhere without a spiritual practice. Not necessarily religion — maybe it's music, or dancing, or just time for yourself to feed and nurture your own spirit.

There is no such thing as failure. What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction.

Honor your calling. Don't worry about how successful you will be. Focus on how significant you can be in service, and the success will take care of itself.

Your integrity is not for sale.
