The most beautiful rose still has to contend with ugly thorns.
I need to stop running back to you in my mind all the time.
A bird that fears turbulence will never know how high it can fly.
Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.
Bad weather never stopped anyone from reaping a good harvest.
Every challenge, every adversity, contains within it the seeds of opportunity and growth.
The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen.
Deeply happy people are even thankful for the trials and tragedies they pass through.
Once you embrace your value, talents and strengths, it neutralizes when others think less of you.
Be flexible like trees; when the wind blows bend, but do not break.
When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.
