Be the calm in someone else’s storm.

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.

There is more to life than just living.

Don’t you trust me! What good is it if you don’t bloody trust me!

If there is anything more annoying in the world than having people talk about you, it is certainly having no one talk about you.

The people's government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.

When you connect with people, they want to help you.

I'm not a diva. I know what I like and I know what I want.

Losing my virginity was very boring.

When we wake up in the morning and we make decisions, these decisions come from the night, the night of eternity, our other side.

I never tried to be Jay Z or Big Poppa, I'm underground like them dead children buried in Gaza

I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing.
