About This Quote

Self-discipline, self-realization and self-reliance are three qualities that are essential to success in life. Without these three qualities, you cannot accomplish anything in the world. Just ask Oprah Winfrey, who started out with little more than a dream after moving to Illinois from rural Mississippi. She overcame her small town upbringing, went on to become one of the most successful media moguls in the world and helped millions of people learn about their inner selves through her television programs.
