The sky won’t shed tears if stars refuse to shine; it will wait for the sun.

If the sun needed friends to shine, it would not rule the sky alone.

It is never a river’s fault that one cannot swim.

A star is a floating diamond; a diamond is a buried star.

An ugly candle that lights up a home is better than a beautiful lamp that merely decorates a room.

Wisdom is the best fruit on the tree of intelligence.
