As paint needs a canvass for its beauty to show, stars need darkness for their splendor to shine.
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.
Stand alone when it is to your benefit, with others when it is to your advantage, and with everyone when it is to your empowerment.
In calm waters you still find sharks.
You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.
If you were able to fall a hundred times as a child and rise, you are able to fall a thousand times as a grown up and soar.
Be merry, because it confuses your enemies; happy, because it annoys them; cheerful, because it angers them; and joyful, because it kills them.
If there are many thorns in your life, it is because you are a rose.
Wisdom paints a rainbow in your mind, joy paints a rainbow in your heart, and love paints a rainbow in your soul.
If the grass is greener on the other side, try planting better seeds.
When perplexed, God appears to you in the form of wisdom; when troubled, in the form of peace; when sad, in the form of joy; when heartbroken, in the form of love.
When a storm shows up, always remind yourself a rainbow is hiding behind it.
If you want little, give little; if you want much, give much; if you want all, give all.
The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.
Though you are as a drop in the ocean, without you, the universe would be empty.
A bird cannot fly upward if each wing is flapping in a different direction.
Cowards shrink from challenges, weaklings flee from them, and warriors wink at them.
When hunting a lion it is wise to remind yourself that you too are being hunted.
Knowledge offers you strength. Wisdom promises you influence. Understanding assures you wealth. Love guarantees you power.
