Visible obstacles shine a light on hidden opportunities.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Believe in yourself, not in your critics.
You will never reach the stars without courage to lose sight of the ground.
It is impossible to make your own luck without the ingredient of hard work.
Making your mark in the world is better than making trouble.
Wind either breaks a tree or teaches it to dance.
A bird does not achieve its highest potential inside its shell.
Pain is the seasoning that gives pleasure its flavor.
You become the master of what you master.
God gave you the sea, but you still have to fish for yourself.
You are an artist, your life is your masterpiece.
The dark skies of despair are no match for the bright skies of hope.
A step towards what you fear is a mile towards mastering it.
The thorny path to greatness is better than the rosy path to mediocrity.
Chase your dreams and your nightmares will grow tired of chasing you.
When you are at your lowest God is getting ready to take you to your highest.
Excellence is the key that opens successes' door.
Believe in yourself, for the universe believes in you.
We only fall on our face to learn how to rise on our feet.
Turn your adversity into building blocks for the palace of your dreams.
You cannot walk in a great man's shoes without getting sores on your feet.
The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.
Breaking down a closed door is quicker than waiting for someone to answer it.
When destiny is calling even the deaf can hear him.
Behind your darkest fears lie your brightest rewards.
What you endured was a sign of what you would become.
Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.
The life you wish you had will come by working like you never have.
If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.
One who conquers fear cannot be conquered by anyone.
Small steps of faith add up to great leaps of success.
Excellence is the best ink with which to make your mark in the world.
Carving your own path gets you to greatness quicker than following someone else's trail.
One who conquers fear conquers his greatest enemy.
Picking up the pieces of a shattered dream is better than having no pieces to pick up at all.
A golden opportunity may turn into silver if you wait too long to take advantage of it.
Confident sheep overcome insecure wolves.
Fear must die for your dreams to live.
Some birds learn how to fly only after falling off of a cliff.
The lonely road to greatness is better than the crowded road to mediocrity.
