Oprah Winfrey

Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.

Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.

The challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it's a story about who you want to be.

To hear the appreciation, the screams - that's what any of us need. We're at our best when we're wanted.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

It's interesting that Swiss banks also hide their assets from the Swiss by using offshore bank structuring.
