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

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

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

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

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

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