If you concentrate on what you don&#8217;t have, you will never, ever have enough&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody\u2019s going to know whether you did it or not.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Your calling isn\u2019t something that somebody can tell you about. It\u2019s what you feel. It is the thing that gives you juice. The thing that you are supposed to do. And nobody can tell you what that is. You know it inside yourself.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it&#8217;s excepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/quotes\/3518.Oprah_Winfrey\" target=\"_blank\">find more great quotes from Oprah here&#8230;<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/astrologicalmusings\/2009\/11\/the-astrology-of-oprah-winfrey.html\" target=\"_blank\">my astrological profile of Oprah here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artwork by Jerrod Maruyama.
