A river cannot boast to a sea.

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

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.

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.

Those who have trusted where they ought not, will surely mistrust where they ought not."-Marie von Ebnuer-Eschenbach

Emancipation from the bondage of the soil is no freedom for the tree.

I don't want to ever, ever do something in life that isn't fun. Ever.

If I dwell on what I don't want, then I will get more of it. I affirm only the good in Life.

Virtue, though she gets her beginning from nature, yet receives her finishing touches from learning.

Make your upper limit, no limit.

The greater the value of the object desired, the greater the effort required in its attainment.

Why, look you, I am whipp'd and scourg'd with rods, Nettled and stung with pismires[nettles], when I hear Of this vile politician, Bolingbroke.
