A star that is determined to shine cannot be hidden, not even by darkness.
Thunder is noise to a pessimist but music to an optimist.
The garden of your dreams is watered by the sweat of excellence.
Fortune hides behind action.
Rainbows earn their brightest colors in the storm.
To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.
A sailor is not defined as much by how many seas he has sailed than by how many storms he has overcome.
The brave with all of their weaknesses are better than the cowardly with all of their strengths.
It is not the size of a seed, but the size of what rises from it.
The dark skies of despair are no match for the bright skies of hope.
It is foolish for the moon to compete with the sun for the spotlight.
The storm only comes to teach you how to skillfully sail your ship.
Excellence is the key that opens successes' door.
When your critics raise hell keep building your heaven.
The calmest part of the storm is not in its eye, but in your own soul.
If the light within you is greater than the darkness around you, you are a star.
Turn your failures into lessons, your obstacles into opportunities, your tragedies into triumphs, and in no time you will turn your dreams into reality.
Pain teaches you more than pleasure. Failure teaches you more than success. Poverty teaches you more than prosperity. Adversity teaches you more than comfort.
The breathtaking view at the mountaintop is compensation for all of the breath lost whilst sweating towards it.
The lonely road to greatness is better than the crowded road to mediocrity.
