In calm waters you still find sharks.
Love makes you strong when others are weak, brave when others are scared, hopeful when others are despairing and cheerful when others are sad.
To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.
You cannot fast-forward time, you cannot rewind it, and you cannot pause it; you can only waste or benefit from it.
The storm only comes to teach you how to skillfully sail your ship.
Your strength lies in knowledge, your power lies in wisdom, your treasure lies in understanding, and your wealth lies in life.
If you have much, be generous; if you have little, be grateful; even if you have nothing, be hopeful.
At ten, you are foolish. At twenty, you are naive. At thirty, you are alert. At forty, you are experienced. At fifty, you are wise.
The calmest part of the storm is not in its eye, but in your own soul.
A virtuous spouse adds years to your life, a wise one adds decades, but a loving one adds an eternity to your life.
Turn your failures into lessons, your obstacles into opportunities, your tragedies into triumphs, and in no time you will turn your dreams into reality.
It takes more than one individual to make a team.
Worry makes you weaker, regret makes you sadder, hate makes you angrier, but hope makes you stronger, and love makes you happier.
Pain teaches you more than pleasure. Failure teaches you more than success. Poverty teaches you more than prosperity. Adversity teaches you more than comfort.
Love is loud; the soul hears it, even if the universe is deaf.
The breathtaking view at the mountaintop is compensation for all of the breath lost whilst sweating towards it.
Smile, just to infuriate those who envy you.
The less you want, the happier you are; the happier you are, the less you want.
If you have the power to think, you have the power to change your world.
Once you show someone your true colors it is impossible to paint over them.
