Wisdom Quote by Oprah Winfrey — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.”

“Follow your instincts. That is where true wisdom manifests itself.”

“Turn your wounds into wisdom.”

“If you want your life to be more rewarding, you have to change the way you think.”

“The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”

“We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”

“Good books are rare, and to have a really good library, a few shelves are all we need. When I was still on my campus in India, I was convinced, like many professors, that if the Lord was to be found anywhere, it was in the lower stacks of the library. But now - just as when I go into a big department store, I can say, "How many things I don't need! How many expensive suits I don't want!" - when I enter a big library I say, "What tomes I don't have to read again! What folios I will never open!" This feeling of freedom will come to all of us when we realise, in the depths of our meditation, that all wisdom lies within.”

“You attract poverty when you lack value for time”

“It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.”

“The possibility of the dream gives strength.”

“Where is the truth then? Where does truth exist, behind the lie, within the lie? Is truth that which we seek to know or that which we avoid knowing?”

“Or take this girl, for example. At a meeting just outside Paris, a fifteen-year-old girl came up to me and said that she'd been to see [The Double Life of] Véronique. She'd gone once, twice, three times and only wanted to say one thing really - that she realized that there is such a thing as a soul. She hadn't known before, but now she knew that the soul does exist. There's something very beautiful in that. It was worth making Véronique for that girl. It was worth working for a year, sacrificing all that money, energy, time, patience, torturing yourself, killing yourself, taking thousands of decisions, so that one young girl in Paris should realize that there is such a thing as a soul. It's worth it.”
