Here's what my love affair with quotations has taught me: The more you focus on words that uplift you, the more you embody the ideas contained in those words. — Oprah Winfrey

Words That Matter is a powerful little book that gathers some of the greatest wisdom to appear in the magazine over the past decade, from historic figures and spiritual leaders to authors and actors, philosophers and Nobel Peace Prize winners. Here are the insights of Maya Angelou, Eckhart Tolle, Alice Walker, Elie Wiesel, Martha Beck, Suze Orman and dozens of others on love and sex, friendship and gratitude, success and money...and beyond. Words That Matter is a book they will return to again and again.
