Storms come to teach trees and plants how to dance in the wind.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
When the blind lead the blind the world is full of casualties.
Light is a masterpiece, but is of little value if you are blind.
A diamond will never tell you how valuable it is; if you don't already know, you are not worthy of it.
The greatest gift you can open is your heart to someone in need.
The greatest fortress in the universe is an ignorant mind, not even the highest thought can leap over it.
School is a hospital where people recover from ignorance, life is a hospital where people recuperate from arrogance.
Pride destroys a man quicker than ignorance.
Tomorrow belongs to those who learn today.
A book is a garden, only its flowers are ideas.
Courage treats the weak better than fear treats the strong.
The mind does not need four walls to make you its prisoner.
Envy is admiration laced with resentment.
The heart’s will is greater than the hand’s strength.
If you try to hide a star behind a dark veil, it will still shine through it.
To be a good leader, win minds; to be a great leader, win heart’s; and to be an extraordinary leader, win souls.
The shrewd, like chameleons, embrace change by using it to their advantage.
The prettiest flower still had to struggle to surface.
God is the world's oldest philosopher, love is the world's oldest sage.
Calm yourself and you calm your storm.
Alone a candle can only light a room, but in thousands they can even light a city.
The ordinary think inside of the box, the extraordinary think outside of the box, but genius thinks inside, outside, below and above the box.
I have the soul of a white man, the soul of a black man, the soul of an Asian man; the soul of every man.
You don’t have to pay the sun to rise, the moon to shine, and the stars to glow.
A book is a small library you can fit into your pocket.
Smile more.Laugh more.Love more.Shine more.
A loud mind is greater than a loud mouth.
If you are ungrateful for one blessing,you will not be grateful for two.If you are ungrateful for two blessings,you will not be grateful for three.If you are grateful for one blessing,you will be grateful for innumerable.
Beautiful gifts sometimes come adorned in ugly wrapping.
A diamond is just another stone to one who is ignorant of its value.
Men are like caterpillars; their potential to soar lies not on the outside, but within.
You are what you think, not what others think of you.
Your private thoughts give birth to your public acts.
A business is an army;you are the general,and your subordinates are your troops.Victory is achieving your goals.Great victory is surpassing your goals.
There are two kinds of warriors:those on the battlefield,and those in the boardroom;both are out to win.But the age of King Alexander has gone,and the age of Bill Gates has come.
The only person you can trust with a good idea is a fool, he will not know what to do with it. The last person you trust with a good idea is a shrewd person, he will take advantage of it better than you would.
Business is warfare, don't get into it if you are afraid to draw blood.
If you cheat on reason with emotion you will go bankrupt.
By lighting another’s candle you brighten your own.
It is not enough to read many books, you have to read the right ones.
