A vessel's beauty does not determine how much water it carries.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Light poured out multiplies light poured in.
Don't ruin a good opportunity fixating on a bad one.
Sense will buy you more than dollars.
The smartest fish are still in the sea.
Don't waste dollars counting cents.
One who cannot dance must not blame the song.
Because the sun helps you in the day, do not scoff at stars at night.
It is in vain to wipe away tears in the rain.
God created sages because He wanted to leave the light on in the universe.
You can crush a rose, all it will do is give off perfume.
Don't make excuses for your mistakes.Don't try to please your enemies.Don't run from your responsibilities.Don't force your opinions on others.Don't complain about things you can change.Don't compare yourself to anyone.Don't let undeserving people into your life.
Light enters a broken vessel more easily than an intact one.
Anger slowly.Forgive quickly.Trust cautiously.Love easily.
Smiling through confusion is courage.Smiling through tears is strength.Smiling through pain is power.Smiling through tragedy is greatness.
The best opportunities sometimes have the worst appearances.The poorest people sometimes have the richest minds.The shallowest people sometimes have the deepest pockets.The quietest people sometimes have the wildest hearts.The meekest people sometimes have the greatest power.The calmest people sometimes have the uneasiest souls.The humblest people sometimes have the biggest accomplishments.
A spider is slow, but its web catches the fastest flies.
You cannot catch a whale and a fish with the same bait.
A strong ant is better than a weak lion.
It is at the edge of intelligence that wisdom awaits.
Clenched fists are not open to receive blessings.
A lion is only dangerous if it has teeth.
You cannot till this year’s land using last year’s sun.
A toothless wolf is less dangerous than a fanged insect.
Think twice as much as others.Study twice as much as others.Work twice as much as others.Give twice as much as others.
Listen until you're the smartest.Learn until you're the wisest.Live until you're the merriest.Love until you're the kindest.
Don't speak thoughtlessly.Don't worry unnecessarily.Don't work half-heartedly.Don't spend recklessly.Don't give begrudgingly.Don't act self-centeredly.Don't live short-sightedly.
Don't resist change if it is to your advantage.Don't ruin a good opportunity fixating on a bad one.Don't burn down bridges you will need to cross tomorrow.Don't expect other people to solve your problems.Don't let what's behind you dictate what's ahead of you.Don't lose sleep over anyone who doesn't lose sleep over you.Don’t let life's small arrows wound your big soul.
To be profitable, practice diligence.To be successful, practice excellence.To be influential, practice intelligence.To be honorable, practice prudence.To be blissful, practice kindness.To be joyful, practice goodness.
The soul's tears are worth more than the heart's smiles.
Use social media for good and lift others up, not tear them down. Stay on the high road. Keep your peace.
~ Germany Kent
Existence is enough grace.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Don't make a deal with the devil.
It suits here now to forget last year, but she'll never make me forget last year, not if I live to be a hundred. I didn't know much then. I know now that there's people like her who want to be friendly for what you do, not what you are.
~ K.m. Peyton
One note does not make a symphony, one artist does not make an orchestra.
Roses do not take beauty advice from weeds.
Help more than is needed.Care more than is required.Give more than is expected.Love more than is anticipated.
Hear others, and you will be heard.Understand others, and you will be understood.Help others, and you be will be helped.Love others, and you will be loved.
Age is glory.
Smile more.Laugh more.Love more.Shine more.
