It is in deep waters that God teaches us to swim.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
The best the world has to offer comes from the best you have to give to others.
Walking on water is safer than sailing in a leaking boat.
In order to bring down the great, you have to be able to reach the stars.
Pain in the wilderness is an investment in pleasure in the Promised Land.
You have not accomplished anything significant if no one envies you.
Rising amateurs always intimidate falling masters.
Standing on the shoulders of the great allows you to see further than everyone.
Weeds blend in, roses stand out.
Higher thoughts lead to a higher life.
Your greatest highs come from overcoming your greatest lows.
Flawed genius is better than flawless talent.
Our most beautiful dreams are born from our most unpleasant nightmares.
To climb great mountains you need feet of faith.
The cream rises to the top, even if sour.
To walk in the footsteps of the great, put on their shoes.
Critics do not determine how high an eagle flies.
The shores safety keeps many from the oceans treasures.
What you conquer within you conquer without.
Following your dreams is better than being led by your fears.
Priceless diamonds often shape in worthless dirt.
Paying the price for your dreams proves you can afford them.
Your deepest valleys lead you to your highest mountaintops.
The greater the pressure the brighter the diamond.
The greater the humiliation, the greater the accolades.The greater the opposition, the greater the triumph.The greater the pain, the greater the blessing.The greater the loss, the greater the gain.The greater the danger, the greater the glory.
You were given the problems you have because you can solve them.You were given the burdens you have because you can carry them.You were given the trials you have because you can overcome them.You were given the opponents you have because you can beat them.You were given the enemies you have because you can conquer them.
Dream the impossible.See the impossible.Pursue the impossible.Achieve the impossible.
They said you would fall,but were surprised when you were rising.The said you would fail,but were surprised when you were succeeding.They said you would break,but were surprised when you kept it together.The said you would deteriorate,but were surprised when you were flourishing.
Stand up.Stand out.Stand firm.Stand strong.
Taking the road less travelled is easier, there is less congestion.
Follow your dreams, not the crowd.
Transcend your doubts.Transcend your fears.Transcend your weaknesses.Transcend your limits.
There is no limit to what your mind can achieve,ask King Solomon.There is no limit to what your heart can achieve,ask King David.There is no limit to what your soul can achieve,ask King Jesus.
Let your work speak for itself:If poor, it will remain silent.If average, it will whisper.If good, it will talk.If great, it will shout.If genius, it will sing.
Small people have small minds, and thus deride big dreamers.Small people have small hearts, and thus disparage big chancers.Small people have small souls, and thus disdain big achievers.
Your mind can imagine what others cannot.Your heart can sense what others cannot.Your soul can receive what others cannot.Your feet can go where others cannot.Your hands can do what others cannot.
Dream with all of your mind.Work with all of your heart.Persevere with all of your strength.Succeed with all of your soul.
Crawl in faith, and you will end up walking.Walk in faith, and you will end up jogging.Jog in faith, and you will end up running.Run in faith, and you will end up sprinting.Sprint in faith, and you will end up soaring.
To be profitable, practice diligence.To be successful, practice excellence.To be influential, practice intelligence.To be honorable, practice prudence.To be blissful, practice kindness.To be joyful, practice goodness.
Believe in yourself.Carve your own path.Build your own dreams.Be your own hero.
