Learn from seeds; they don’t die when you throw dirt at them; they grow.

If people haven't walked a mile in your shoes, don't listen to them if they mock the sores on your feet.

If birds sing without worrying about who is listening to them, and monkeys dance without worrying about who is watching them, and hyenas laugh without worrying about who is mocking them, then you too must do what you do best without worrying about who is ridiculing you.

The greater the fruit a tree bears, the greater the number of stones thrown at it.

Pulling others down leaves you less time to pull yourself up.

You are not remembered for who you pull down, but who you lift up.
