"Unless you choose to do great things..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“Life isn't just about what you can have; it's about what you have to give, what kind of person do you want to be?”

“Learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.”

“What I've learned about being angry with people is that it generally hurts you more than it hurts them.”

“Though we live in the colony of time, we are ultimately responsible to the empire of eternity.”

“It's just really about trying to do whatever it is I do at a level of excellence. That's really all I'm trying to do while I'm here.”

“Art to be art must soothe.”

“Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.”

“Man's conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. There neither is nor can be any simple increase of power on Man's side. Each new power won by man is a power over man as well.”

“When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young.”
