"The best of times is now...." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“Here's what my love affair with quotations has taught me: the more you focus on words that uplift you, the more you embody the ideas contained in those words.”

“Make the right decision even when nobody's looking and you will always turn out okay.”

“I always knew I'd be a millionaire by age thirty-two. In fact, I am going to be the richest black woman in America.”

“For the rest of my life there are two days that will never again trouble me. The first day is yesterday with all its blunders and tears, follies and defeats. Yesterday has passed away, beyond my control forever. The other day is tomorrow with all its pitfalls and threats, its dangers and mystery. Until the sun rises again I have no stake in tomorrow, for it is still unborn.”

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

“With every failure, every crisis, every difficult time, I say - What is this here to teach me? And as soon as you get the lesson, you get to move on. If you really get the lesson, you pass and you don't have to repeat the class.My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

“Everyone has the power to impact the outcome of his life. The way to do it is to focus on today. . . It is too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow.”

“There was always a minority afraid of something, and a great majority afraid of the dark, afraid of the future, afraid of the past, afraid of the present, afraid of themselves and shadows of themselves”

“He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives.”
