You will never reach the stars without courage to lose sight of the ground.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
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.
A bird does not achieve its highest potential inside its shell.
You become the master of what you master.
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.
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.
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.
If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.
One who conquers fear cannot be conquered by anyone.
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.
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.
You become greater than what you conquer within.
Use your tears to water the garden of your dreams.
Rise in your mind and you will rise in your world.
One does not become strong lifting feathers.
Scars are your greatest medals in life.
The best way to overcome your weaknesses is to turn them into strengths.
Major breakthroughs often come after major breakdowns.
Don't settle for a star when you can have the whole sky.
An ambitious amateur will rise above a complacent master.
Stumbling towards greatness is better than sprinting towards mediocrity.
You become what you think, not what others think of you.
Life is a stage: perform your masterpiece.
Conquering hills today prepares you for conquering mountains tomorrow.
Present tears water the gardens of future blessings.
Battling wolves today strengthens you for battling lions tomorrow.
