A stone, no matter how small, resists the wind.

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.

If we were to place our power at the service of our imaginations rather than our primate politics we would create a civilization worthy of the name.

My goal is to help women to become the best version of themselves.
