"there is no fun than helping to..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“Some women have a weakness for shoes... I can go barefoot if necessary. I have a weakness for books.”

“I've talked to nearly 30,000, people on this show, and all 30,000, had one thing in common: They all wanted validation...I would tell you that every single person you will ever meet shares that common desire.”

“There's nothing worse than betraying yourself.”

“We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others.”

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

“You can’t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.”

“Some of my dreams are so big they would scare you.”

“When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.”

“To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.”
