If a flower perseveres through concrete, you can persevere through anything.

The weak dread the storm, the foolish invite the storm, the wise avoid the storm,
the strong battle the storm, and the great overcome the storm.

Be like stars; instead of cursing the darkness, shine.

A flower’s beauty is birthed in a seed’s ugly struggles.

In order for a seed to rise, it must be buried in dirt; likewise, in order for the great to rise they must be buried in adversity.

You don't throw a compass overboard because the ocean is calm.
