The loveliest roses sometimes bear the ugliest thorns.
If your thoughts are higher than your problems, you can fly above them.
Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.
Alone a candle can only light a room, but in thousands they can even light a city.
An original pebble is better than a counterfeit diamond.
An ounce of wisdom is worth more than a pound of knowledge.
Calm yourself and you calm your storm.
Keep your eyes on your dreams, not on your haters.
You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.
A beautiful rose with an ugly soul wilts quickly.
A tree is only as good as the seed it is stems from.
What you think is a seed, what you say is the bud, and what you do is the fruit.
Peace gives you the world, laughter gives you the sky, joy gives you the world, and love gives you the universe.
Spend time with people who enrich your mind, nourish your heart, and illuminate your soul.
The world has enough light from the sun, but not from your mind; and the universe has enough light from the stars, but not from your soul.
Light travels half away around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.
Because the moon is not jealous of the sun, it benefits from its light.
One who throws stones at others has less to use to build his own house.
People only stone a tree that is full of ripe fruit.
Outer beauty you see with your eyes, but inner beauty you only see with your heart.
