25 Great Quotes from
Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey is one on my favorite people in the world. She is a strong, dynamic, caring, kind, sucessful (duh!) woman that works hard and plays even harder. There are many great things that can be said about this great woman but her most outstanding attribute is her willingness to teach all people, especially women that we can be, and in fact are, as strong, dynamic, caring, kind and succesful as she is.

Below are some of her great words of wisdom. Learn from them and pass them along to your loved ones.
