Be like stars; instead of cursing the darkness, shine.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A star earns the right to shine the day it is born.
The beauty that is in you is greater than the ugliness that is around you.
When your inner light shines your outer world glows.
Light is a beautiful servant, darkness is a dangerous master.
If the sun shone for itself, it would be blinded by its own light; if a river flowed for itself, it would be drowned by its own weight.
It is impossible for light to bow before darkness.
An ugly candle that lights up a home is better than a beautiful lamp that merely decorates a room.
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.
Water has no mouth, but swallows many. Light has no hands, but touches many. Wind has no feet, but carries many. Darkness has no teeth, but devours many.
It is not the size of the candle that matters, but the size of its light.
Be like stars; when darkness tries to stop you from shining, shine all the more.
Light cannot hide its beauty, not even in darkness.
Taking a step in the dark is braver than taking a leap in light.
Light cannot enter a dark room without illumining it.
Paying the high cost of education is better than paying the high price of ignorance.
Good deeds are the highest notes in life's symphony.
A vessel's beauty does not determine how much water it carries.
Light poured out multiplies light poured in.
Stars shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.
To give light to others, you must first take light from others!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
To be blind momentarily when light hits your eyes is better than to be blind permanently when darkness hits your soul.
Light wears out the eyes but does not wear out the soul.
The world has enough light from the sun, but not from your mind; and the universe has enough light from the stars, but not from your soul.
Light only benefits one whose eyes are open.
God is the distance between light and darkness.
Light in your soul kindles the light in your world.
Love is your religion, the whole world is your temple.
Each time a star twinkles, God is winking at the universe.
~ Matshona Dhiliwayo
When God looks in the mirror He sees love.
Love's light conquers hate's darkness.
A step towards love is a leap towards the divine.
Love pouring out of you is evidence of God pouring into you.
Love is the softest rose in the soul's garden.
Light is always one step ahead of darkness.
The universe is a masterpiece painted by love's masterstrokes.
The soul’s steps are greater than the heart’s leaps.
Love is the brightest star in the soul's sky.
Be like the sun, it does not look for the spotlight, the limelight travels with it wherever it goes.
