The greater the pressure the brighter the diamond.

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.

What are we before love? But thoughts floating upon a sea. Searching for a shore to explore, to gaze into infinity.

My vigour, vitality, and cheek repel me. I am the kind of woman I would run from.

The only cowards are sinners fighting the fight is all.

A smile is a facelift that's in everyone's price range!

Force and mind are opposites; morality ends where a gun begins.

It is a thing which every sensible American should learn from every sensible Englishman, that glare and glitter, gimcracks and gewgaws, are not indispensable to domestic solacement.

And there lies the horror: the past we remember is devoid of time. Impossible to reexperience a love the way we reread a book or resee a film.

You go away for a long time and return a different person - you never come all the way back.

Only in books the flat and final happens, Only in dreams we meet and interlock.

Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren't in love with me?" — Edward Cullen
