The wise are like a sprouting seed; they go forward and upward, never backward or downward.
No matter how tall and wide darkness is, it cannot block the stars.
Reward those who help you. Forget those who use you. Ignore those who judge you. Forgive those who wrong you.
You are better than your past, greater than your present, and brighter than your future.
Dream like a child. Reason like an elder. Play like a youth. Work like an adult.
You cannot fast-forward time, you cannot rewind it, and you cannot pause it; you can only waste or benefit from it.
The universe offers you three things that money cannot buy: joy, love, and life.
See what love sees. Hear what love hears. Say what love says. Do what love does.
If the wind brushes against you, do not complain; it brushes against everyone.
As inside of every seed is the power to rise from darkness, inside of everyone is the power to rise from adversity.
Stars earn their brightest colors in the dark.
As paint needs a canvass for its beauty to show, stars need darkness for their splendor to shine.
If size really mattered, the whale, not the shark, would rule the waters.
It is the roof that fights the rain, but the builder who gets all the glory.
Yesterday, I was clever, I wanted to be rich. Today, I am wise, I want to be happy.
A flower takes a while to grow, but can die in an instant; this is how it is with trust.
Anger is loud, rage is deafening, and wrath is thunderous; only love can silence them.
Skill follows the rules, talent breaks the rules, mastery shatters the rules, but genius makes its own rules.
The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.
In calm waters you still find sharks.
