Learn from stars; even in the dark they give off light, not despair.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.
It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.
A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.
Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.
If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.
Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.
Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.
Pressure is an artist, diamonds are its masterpiece.
Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.
If you have shed a thousand tears, expect a thousand blessings.
The greatest gift you can open is your arms to someone in need.
A ship will never sink if God is on it.
A flower that refuses to bloom robs the world of its beauty.
One kind deed is more beautiful than a thousand good intentions.
Throwing dirt at a diamond does not diminish its value.
A heart of gold is more precious than a necklace of diamonds.
Light is all a flower longs for, even when surrounded with priceless jewels.
Tears water the eyes when they have been dry for too long.
Stars cannot achieve their highest potential without the dark.
A star is a rock that could no longer hide its light from the world.
A diamond's happy ending is on a crown, but its beauty was formed in dirt.
It is better to win souls than to conquer nations.
If God charged us for every tear He shed for us, the world would be bankrupt.
The saddest day in the woods is when birds run out of happy songs to sing.
If you try to extinguish the light of one who shines like the sun you will get burned.
The moon only dares compete with the stars when the sun is in its corner.
A seed only realizes its potential the day you bury it.
Love will always be blind, but will never be deaf.
The entrance to the world is inside your mind, the entrance to the universe is inside your soul.
Fear takes you low, faith takes you high, but love takes you everywhere.
Stars don't beg the sky to shine.
A rose struggling in a desert is still braver than a flower flourishing in a rain forest.
When God wants to give you a miracle, He first gives you a problem.
Fortify your mind, bullet proof your heart, strengthen your soul.
Don’t let past disappointments rob you of future happiness.
We are all born stars, but some refuse to shine and others make it their life’s mission to glow.
Storms are rainbow’s inside out.
A star is a rock that could no longer hide its beauty from the world.
Rainbows can’t rise without storms.
