Stars are not praised for shining during the day, but at night.

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.

A universe that can wink into existence can wink out again.

You can blame people and situations for your misery, hunger, deprivation and illness, but you are the only person can be blamed for your illiteracy.

Take sincere joy in the success of others. Being happy for them will make you feel incredible about YOU!

Never wish a legendary love

My own inclination is to skew towards humor. They say that some people view life as a comedy, others as a tragedy. Me? Comedy all the way.

Very hot and still the air was, Very smooth the gliding river, Motionless the sleeping shadows.

I live between Jamaica and Paris.

An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in life—becoming a better person.

The more you give, the more your heart is filled. Love is a never ending stream.

In reality, I don't think that many of the policies we've attempted to apply to deal with it are going to have any serious effect.
