The greatest weight a bird has to drop before it can fly is fear.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
A bird does not give up flying today because it couldn't find any worms yesterday.
A small idea with wings will take you higher than a big one with legs.
Intelligence will take you to the mountaintop, wisdom will take you to the stars.
A seed today is a forest tomorrow.
In storms look for rainbows, in sunshine prepare for storms.
Use the arrows failure throws at you to hunt for success.
Don't downgrade your dreams to upgrade your relationships.
Perfume is the scent that pours out of a flower's soul when crushed.
If an eagle is teaching you to fly, ignore the advice of turkeys.
The farther you venture into the forest the more valuable the fruit.
A hunter’s meal is in proportion to his skill.
The sweetest fruits grow at the top of a tree so that only those who deserve them can reach them.
The darkness of the storm determines the brightness of the rainbow.
A butterfly is a caterpillar which refused to give up its dreams to fly.
Building castles in the air is only wise if you build a ladder to reach them.
If the grass is greener on the other side, start watering your own.
Thinking outside of the box is unnecessary when there are no boxes in your imagination.
Don't try moving mountains God ordained you to climb.
Wind either breaks a tree or teaches it to dance.
Every living creature on this planet, has a conscious subjective perspective of the world. Even the plants may seem to us as standing indifferent to the human sufferings, but even they have their own unique mental universe. They have their own way of interacting with the environment.
~ Abhijit Naskar
If a lion invites you to dinner, turn down the offer, no matter how hungry you are.
If you waste time watering a fruitless tree, fruitful ones may die of thirst.
The quickest way to find honey is to follow bees.
Learning how to cut trees down is intelligence, learning how to grow them is wisdom.
An original pebble is better than a counterfeit diamond.
If a lion takes its advice from sheep, it will go hungry.
If you place two flowers in the same vase, they will not argue over who is more beautiful.
A wolf can only curse a lion when surrounded by its peers.
Counting your chickens before they hatch is only wise if God has told you how many will survive.
To learn how to swim, observe fish; how to hunt, observe lions; how to work, observe bees, and how to live, observe sages.
If you hide honey in the dark, bees will still find it.
If you can't climb a tree, shake it, and its fruit will fall.
A fish is a genius in water, an eagle is a genius in air, a fox is a genius on land, and a sage is a genius in life.
A wolf's thoughts are seldom far from its appetite.
The hen that lays the most eggs deserves the most food.
The earliest bird gets the worm only if the worm is stupid enough to show up.
If men could fit water into their pockets, the ocean would be empty.
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.
A wolf only attends a rabbit’s funeral to eat its young.
