If you follow the herd, people may mistake you for a cow.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Do not underrate yourself trying to be somebody else.
Virtues, talents and unique selling points are all what makes great people.
~ Chidiebere Prosper Agbugba
We wish to be great but we tend to forget that it can be someone we helped attain greatness that God will use to take us to that place of authority and influence. If it doesn't pay today, surely it'll pay soon.
Raise your thoughts, not your fists.
You become strong by lifting others up, not pulling them down.
A lion's strength does not lie in its roar.
Stars do not shine on their friends alone.
Breaking from the herd is better than getting lost in it.
You worry less about misplacing a star when the whole sky is yours.
A candle is at its brightest in the dark.
Works from the soul transcend works from the mind.
Step by step a mountain is conquered.
Don’t sell yourself short, you are your best asset.
Beautiful souls are shaped by ugly experiences.
Don't think about sharks when you are walking on water.
More love, more power.Less love, less power.Great love, great power.
There has never been any great tangible thing without any minute or great intangible thing. The great works we see were just ideas until they received the real energy which transforms ideas into real and tangible artifacts. When you conceive an idea, find its energy. A great idea is just like the camphor, it sublimes with time if it is not nurtured well
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Do you want to do something great? Find something that is distinctively smaller! Do you want to do something extraordinary? Do something ordinary in a distinctive way! Do you want to espouse an unpopular cause? Find the neglected solution to the general problem. Do you want to be distinctively popular? Think of what is distinctively unpopular.
A star will shine in the midst of darkness.A flower will bloom in the midst of dirt.A camel will flourish in the midst of doubt.A diamond will form in the midst of pressure.A champion will rise in the midst of hardship.
A man's rivals tell you how great he is.
Throw a champion into the ocean, and he’ll swim.Throw a champion into the pit, and he’ll climb.Throw him off a cliff, and he’ll grow wings.Throw him into a furnace, and he’ll become gold.
When you look at extraordinary people look for scars.
Anyone can look up at a mountain, but not everyone can look down from it.
The strong overcome several trials.The determined overcome numerous trials.The resilient overcome many trials.The extraordinary overcome countless trials.
The strength to move forward when others stop, to keep going when others turn back, is the key to unlocking your greatest potential.
Few great things are achieved effortlessly.
Wolves travel in packs, not in herds.
Greatness awaits those who can rise from their greatest failures.
He who strives for excellence strives for greatness.
Those who envy you inadvertently admit to being inferior to you.
Be your own hero.
Ordinary people are products of their environment. Extraordinary people make their environments products of them.
When an eagle spreads its wings to fly, even the swan is envious.
The price of greatness is exorbitant, only those rich in courage can afford it.
Fear is the greatest predator you encounter on your journey to greatness.
If greatness was easy to attain, everyone’s name would be in history books.
Society in its boundless ignorance ridicules the caterpillar but praises the butterfly.
The inferior put others down, the superior lift others up,the great are an asset to themselves and the world.
Your strength is your ticket to persistence.Your mind is your ticket to brilliance.Your heart is your ticket to excellence.Your soul is your ticket to transcendence.
