"It is your life and it is..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“Nothing happens until you decide.”

“Right now you are one choice away from a new beginning.”

“I am guided by the vision of what I believe this show can be. Originally our goal was to uplift, enlighten, encourage and entertain through the medium of television. Now, our mission statement for The Oprah Winfrey Show is to use television to transform people's lives, to make viewers see themselves differently and to bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment into every home.”

“The creative writer uses his life as well as being its victim; he can control, in his work, the self-presentation that in actuality is at the mercy of a thousand accidents.”

“Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his/her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people.”

“Life is in ourselves and not in the external.”

“I believe that one of life's greatest risks is never daring to risk.”

“If you wait until all the lights are 'green' before you leave home, you'll never get started on your trip to the top.”

“The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.”
