The greatest lesson a tree can give you is to stand tall and proud, no matter how strong life’s winds blow against you.

A warrior is defined by his scars, not his medals.

We are all born stars, but some refuse to shine and others make it their life’s mission to glow.

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.

If the past could be changed, it would not exist. If the future could be stopped, it would not survive. If the present could be avoided, it would not prevail.

The storm is the optimist’s friend, but the pessimist’s nightmare.
