Our highest deeds come from helping the lowest people.
If you want to know how fortunate you are, visit three places: the slum, the hospital, and the cemetery.
If beautiful lilies bloom in ugly waters, you too can blossom in ugly situations.
Stars are born out of dark moments.
Roses do not bloom the same time as daisies.
Shine your light so bright, and no one will need a telescope to see you.
Water your dreams with fear, and they will wilt; with doubt, and they will wither; with hope, and they will grow; with faith, and they will flourish.
Love your friends with your eyes closed, but love your enemies with both eyes open.
A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.
If the sky never grew dark, we would not be able to clearly see the stars.
Be like seeds; do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow.
If we had a penny for each time God smiled at us, we would all be billionaires.
If birds did not believe in their ability to fly, the sky would be empty.
Extraordinary storms turn average seamen into extraordinary sailors.
If the storm forgets to bring a rainbow, paint your own.
It is not the fault of the stars that they shine brightly, but the fault of our eyes that they cannot handle light.
Stars are not praised for shining during the day, but at night.
Be like the sun; bear with those in the dark, but keep shining your light.
Stars do not hide from darkness. Roses do not hide from thorns. Diamonds do not hide from pressure.
The greater the fruit a trees bears, the greater the number of stones thrown at it.
