Yesterday, I was clever, I wanted to be rich. Today, I am wise, I want to be happy.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
The world accommodates you for fitting in, but only rewards you for standing out.
God hides treasure in dirt, so that only those humble enough to dig through it find it.
Have the mind of a swam, the heart of a lion, the tongue of a serpent, the flair of a swam, and the soul of a dove.
First, fear will mock you, then fear will taunt you, then fear will oppose you, and if you ignore it, only then will it flee from you.
Expect success. Desire success. Attract success. Realize success.
A bird is born knowing how to fly, but has to learn to conquer the skies.
The calmest part of the storm is not in its eye, but in your own soul.
The sky’s dangers offer the eagle more opportunities than the nest’s comfort.
Thunder is noise to a pessimist but music to an optimist.
Courage lightens distress, hope alleviates grief, doubt aggravates affliction, fear worsens anguish, worry magnifies misery, and faith overthrows despair.
Learn from stars; when dark times try to dull your sparkle, shine.
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.
Beware of befriending wolves; remember, they are only loyal to their appetite.
Because the moon is not jealous of the sun, it benefits from its light.
Ignorance shuts the mind’s door tight, wisdom swings it wide open.
A bee, though small, can still sting you; an elephant, though calm, can still trample you; a lion, though full, can still devour you.
Pleasure is a kind servant, but a cruel master.
The mind speaks, though it does not have lips.The heart moves, though it does not have feet.The soul rises, though it does not have wings.
It is impossible for light to bow before darkness.
It is the roof that fights the rain, but the builder who gets all the glory.
A bird cannot fly upward if each wing is flapping in a different direction.
Daisies that bring you joy are better than roses that bring you sorrow.
Light travels halfway around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.
Light travels half away around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.
When birds eat from your hand, they are letting the whole world know that they trust you.
You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.
It is in vain to stone the sky, no matter how big the rock is.
When you have nothing, be hopeful; when you have little, be grateful; when you have much, be sensible; when you have everything, be humble.
If you want to know how good a tree is, examine how many birds flock to feed off of its fruit.
It is the ant, not the lion, which the elephant fears.
Seeds do not make a sound when growing, but can even reach the sky. Learn from them.
Have the mind of a fox, the heart of a lion, the tongue of a serpent, the flair of a swan, and the soul of a dove.
There is no limit to what your mind can achieve, what your heart can accomplish, and what your soul can realize.
Risk little, earn little. Risk much, earn much. Risk all, earn all.
Follow few. Lead many. Walk with some. Embrace all.
It takes more than one individual to make a team.
When reality is better than your dreams, stay awake.
Instead of hating someone, pray for that person. Don't forget to pray for yourself as well, that you may learn how to let go and forgive.
