The ocean is never afraid of wind rising against it; it creates beautiful waves instead.

When a flower rises from the earth, it is overcoming its greatest opponent: fear.

Stars do not hide from darkness. Roses do not hide from thorns. Diamonds do not hide from pressure.

Dear fear, I’m divorcing you. Dear courage, I’m courting you. Dear hope, I’m pursuing you. Dear love, I’m marrying you.

If stars avoided the dark, they would not be visible at night.

Wisdom is a great prophet, faith is a great warrior, knowledge is a great sage, and virtue is a great priest.
