Oprah Winfrey gives you the stage? Shut your mouth. I said, 'I'm sorry for taking over your show.' She said, 'No, that's why we have you here.'

Oprah Winfrey is a big role model for me from a business capacity and a creative capacity. She is an incredible interviewer who cultivated a certain style by inserting her own personhood into a show on national television at a time when no one was talking about empowerment, spirituality, or our inner lives.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
Oprah Winfrey is such an inspiring person.
‐‐ Dylan Lauren
Oprah Winfrey represents the most ingenious and creative expression of black spiritual genius in the public mainstream that we've had in quite a long time, if ever.
‐‐ Michael Eric Dyson
Oprah Winfrey's global influence is unparalleled. Not only has her generosity and firm belief that education is the key to a better life benefited countless women and children around the world, but her example has also inspired millions of people to give back in ways big and small.

Optimism can be relearnt.
‐‐ Marian Keyes
Optimism doesn't wait on facts. It deals with prospects. Pessimism is a waste of time.
‐‐ Norman Cousins
Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure.
‐‐ Elbert Hubbard
Optimism is an expectation that good things are going to be plentiful. The wealthy generally have the sense that life will bring good rather than bad outcomes. That doesn't mean they believe that good things will be omnipresent, but that they will outnumber the not-so-good.
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress.
‐‐ Nicholas M. Butler
Optimism is infectious, and opportunity irresistible. Progress follows progress. Someone, even government, just has to get it started.
‐‐ Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
Optimism is normal, but some fortunate people are more optimistic than the rest of us. If you are genetically endowed with an optimistic bias, you hardly need to be told that you are a lucky person - you already feel fortunate.
‐‐ Daniel Kahneman
Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But, morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances.
‐‐ Todd Solondz
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
‐‐ Helen Keller
Optimism is the foundation of courage.
‐‐ Nicholas M. Butler
Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.
‐‐ Voltaire
Optimism is the opium of the people.
‐‐ Milan Kundera
Optimism isn't funny unless you are laughing at the person, whereas extreme pessimism is extremely funny. It's exaggeration.
‐‐ Steve Toltz
Optimism means better than reality; pessimism means worse than reality. I'm a realist.
‐‐ Margaret Atwood
Optimism - the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.
‐‐ Ambrose Bierce
Optimism with some experience behind it is much more energizing than plain old experience with a certain degree of cynicism.
‐‐ Twyla Tharp
Optimist: day dreamer more elegantly spelled.
‐‐ Mark Twain
Optimistic people generally feel that good things will last a long time and will have a beneficial effect on everything they do. And they think that bad things are isolated: They won't last too long and won't affect other parts of life.
‐‐ Martin Seligman
Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders - not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.
‐‐ Daniel Kahneman
Optimists are usually wrong. But all the great change in history, positive change, was done by optimists.
‐‐ Thomas Friedman
Optimists - people who believe in Britain, who believe in democracy - they're the people I believe who will vote for us to leave and take back control.
‐‐ Michael Gove
Optimization tells us precisely how to diversify the portfolio, whether I should have 12% in semiconductors or 4% in biotech, etc., and it literally tells me how to diversify not only the industry groups but the stocks.
‐‐ Louis Navellier
Optimizing return on capital will generate less growth than optimizing return on education.
‐‐ Clayton Christensen
Opting for gold shoes could have been considered downright cocky, but I was confident and never doubted my ability to deliver gold medals to match my shimmering footwear.

Or a White Englishman would rather smash a White Frenchman than a Jew! Crazy!

Or certainly I would need time - which I would love to have but there almost never is on a film - to just spend a week with a roomful of guys laying down these patterns.

Or even the state of Florida, where they are prepared to execute children. Umm, well, you hope that at least that there is something there to be claimed.

Or he can work it out as a metrical and formal exercise, but he will be disappointed in its content. The New Year's prospect fairly chills his daunting breast.
‐‐ John Crowe Ransom
Or if I have my head in the results, I can't work with what I have, because I'm trying to force something to happen. And with singing, any time you force it, you tighten up. If you tighten up, you're screwed, nothing will work.
‐‐ Kathy Mattea
Or in other works I have also projected the sound in a cube of loudspeakers. The sound can move vertically and diagonally at all speeds around the public.
‐‐ Karlheinz Stockhausen
Or in the early days we didn't have the bus, we had a station wagon.
‐‐ Mel Tillis
Or like in the early 70's when we had the reaction against acid rock and all the fuzz tone, and feedback, and the noise. And you had James Taylor and everyone went acoustic and that.
‐‐ Lester Bangs
Or the Department of Education and another ministry were worried about duplication of effort, so what did they do? They set up two committees to look into duplication and neither knew what the other was up to. It really is a world beyond parody.
‐‐ Rory Bremner
Or the other process that is important is that I compress longer sections of composed music, either found or made by myself, to such an extent that the rhythm becomes a timbre, and formal subdivisions become rhythm.
‐‐ Karlheinz Stockhausen
Oracle, for example, has even hired people to dumpster dive for information about its competitor, Microsoft. It's not even illegal, because trash isn't covered by data secrecy laws.
‐‐ Kevin Mitnick
Oracle is my second job ever that did not involve waitressing. But I still have my waitress apron just in case this does not work out. It's just that I fell in love with software when I was programming in college. When I was an investment banker, there were mostly mainframe companies and very few software ones.
‐‐ Safra A. Catz
Oracle is obsessed with security. It's an absolute requirement for all our products. The real security issue is when customers take older products that were not built for the Internet, and kind of rack them and put them on the Internet.

Oracle's got 100+ enterprise applications live in the #cloud; today, SAP's got nothin' but SuccessFactors until 2020.
‐‐ Larry Ellison
Oracle's latest database, version 12c, was specifically designed for the cloud. Oracle 12c makes all your Oracle applications multitenant applications without you having to make any changes whatsoever to your applications.
‐‐ Larry Ellison
Oracle was I had started it I guess two and a half years ago, maybe even longer than that, closer to three.

Oral history is a recipe for complete misrepresentation because almost no one tells the truth, even when they intend to.

Oral Roberts was a man of God and a great friend in ministry. I loved him as a brother.
