Failing over and over again is how you learn to succeed over and over again.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A muddied diamond is better than an unsullied pebble.
Critics are loud, but success is louder.
Today’s amateurs are tomorrow’s champions.
A drop of faith can create a hailstorm of success.
A bird that fears falling off of a tree branch is ignorant of its gifts.
Warriors achieve more than worriers.
A garden is never beautiful by accident.
Behind your greatest fears lie your greatest rewards.
Loud critics are silenced by loud success.
Your darkest experiences often lead you to your brightest fortunes.
Big dreamers achieve more than big doubters.
You cannot reach the stars feet on the ground.
Life is a dark stage on which you were born to shine.
Pebbles that bring you joy are better than diamonds that bring you sorrow.
If a lion invites you to dinner, turn down the offer, no matter how hungry you are.
If you waste time watering a fruitless tree, fruitful ones may die of thirst.
A lion's greater talents are revealed in the jungle, not in the circus.
The quickest way to find honey is to follow bees.
A tree's beauty lies in its branches, but its strength lies in its roots.
Learning how to cut trees down is intelligence, learning how to grow them is wisdom.
An original pebble is better than a counterfeit diamond.
If a lion takes its advice from sheep, it will go hungry.
When sheep grow blind, it is only wolves that rejoice.
If you place two flowers in the same vase, they will not argue over who is more beautiful.
A wolf can only curse a lion when surrounded by its peers.
Counting your chickens before they hatch is only wise if God has told you how many will survive.
A tree’s nature does not change because the wind blew off a few of its leaves.
To learn how to swim, observe fish; how to hunt, observe lions; how to work, observe bees, and how to live, observe sages.
If you hide honey in the dark, bees will still find it.
If you can't climb a tree, shake it, and its fruit will fall.
A fish is a genius in water, an eagle is a genius in air, a fox is a genius on land, and a sage is a genius in life.
A wolf's thoughts are seldom far from its appetite.
The hen that lays the most eggs deserves the most food.
The earliest bird gets the worm only if the worm is stupid enough to show up.
An apple only falls far from its tree when carried away by divine winds.
If men could fit water into their pockets, the ocean would be empty.
Be humble to those who praise you, pleasant to those who honor you, kind to those who cherish you, good to those who love you, and generous to those who adore you.
A wolf only attends a rabbit’s funeral to eat its young.
One who wishes to cross the ocean first builds a ship.
