Tears water the eyes when they have been dry for too long.

When God wants to give you a miracle, He first gives you a problem.

Fortify your mind, bullet proof your heart, strengthen your soul.

Don’t let past disappointments rob you of future happiness.

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

Storms are rainbow’s inside out.

A star is a rock that could no longer hide its beauty from the world.

Rainbows can’t rise without storms.

The world would have no rainbows if the sky had not storms.

A single candle has the power to light up a room, a single star has the power to light up the sky, and a single soul has the power to light up the world.

A flower must bloom inside first before revealing its beauty to the world.

Looking up at the stars only proves you admire them, but shining your light proves you are like them.

Thank God for allowing you to see another day. No matter what, keep trusting, keep believing, be strong, have hope. The best is yet to come.

Light does not have to beg darkness to shine.

It is impossible for darkness to reign in the presence of a star.

If size really mattered, a match wouldn’t be able to set a forest on fire.

A star is not afraid of darkness, for its light comes from within.

If you want to know a person’s true character, observe how he treats those who don’t matter.

The uglier the storm the lovelier the rainbow.

Light on its worst day will conquer darkness on its best day.

What you conquer in your soul you conquer in your world.

Spend time with people who enrich your mind, nourish your heart, and illuminate your soul.

Whether your glass is half full or half empty, hope can fill it up.

Anger has great strength, but no brains. Greed has a great appetite, but no heart.Pride has a great spirit, but no soul.

Only what is below you tries to pull you down.

God sometimes uses ugly vessels to carry beautiful things.

The mind dies, but its thoughts live on. The heart perishes, but its experiences live on. The body expires, but its spirit lives on.

When you look into the mirror, you can’t even see your heart; but when God looks at your shadow, He sees your soul.

The world is already full of critics; to stand out, be an encourager.

Temporary friends sometimes bring us to permanent blessings.

A rainbow is not afraid of showing its true colors because it knows it is beautiful inside out.

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

You don’t have to swim when you know how to walk on water.

It is impossible for a star to shine and not get noticed, even in the dark.

Rainbows earn their brightest colors in the storm.

It is not the size of a seed, but the size of what rises from it.

Ordinary people never win.

You can blow out a candle, but you cannot blow out a star.

You are not honored for the fruit you pick, but for the trees you plant.

Peace gives you the world, laughter gives you the sky, joy gives you the world, and love gives you the universe.

Rain is just God weeping for Earth’s troubles.

When you look at a rose try to focus on its beauty, not its thorns.

You are strong because of what you overcame, brave because of what you defeated, fierce because of what you mastered, and powerful because of what you conquered.

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

Dream while others are sleeping. Dare while others are wishing. Do while others are talking. Deliver while others are quitting.

If you want to know how fortunate you are, visit three places: the slum, the hospital, and the cemetery.

Light another’s path and the universe will light your own.

Trees generously share their fruit.Bees generously share their honey.Flowers generously share their perfume. Do likewise.

Use fear to become braver, pain to become stronger, trials to become wiser, and misfortune to become better.

To strengthen the body’s muscles, exercise; the mind’s muscles, read; the heart’s muscle’s, laugh; and the soul’s muscles, love.

If you rule the air, you are great; the waters, you are extraordinary; the lands, you are remarkable; but if you rule over yourself, you are remarkable.

Worry soils, even the purest mind.Envy poisons, even the purest heart.Greed sullies, even the purest soul.

In a second you can change your mind, in a minute you can change your heart, in an hour you can change your life, and in a day you can change your destiny.

The universe acknowledges the value of your tears; for when it rains, it is shedding its own.

Run to brilliance. Sprint to excellence. Soar to transcendence.

You are no greater than the knowledge you acquire, the desires you harbor, and the experiences you cherish.

Use your mind’s talents diligently, your heart’s powers incredibly, and your soul’s genius profitably.

The mind shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s wisdom; the heart, in proportion to one’s courage; and the soul, in proportion to one’s love.

In the body is tremendous strength, in the mind is brilliant potential, in the heart is extraordinary influence, and in the soul is remarkable power.

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

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

Wealth won’t make you happy. Power won’t make you remarkable. Fame won’t make you honorable. Education won’t make you wise.

Bless the world with your mind, heal the world with your heart, lift the world with your soul; elevate the world with your life.

Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present; it has no sympathy for you; and don’t weep over the future, it has no mercy on you.

In thoughts, be wise. In speech, be cautious. In sentiment, be positive. In actions, be prudent.

The darkest storms color the brightest rainbows.

Learn from the ocean; not fearing turbulence, it uses the wind against it to rise instead.

A flower does not fulfill its destiny until it blooms, and a star does not fulfill its destiny until it shines.

In order for a seed to rise, it must be buried in dirt; likewise, in order for the great to rise they must be buried in adversity.

The sky is the limit only if you have a problem with reaching for the stars.

If the sky never grew dark, we would not be able to clearly see the stars.

A leaf has no power to resist when the wind blows, but when life’s storms rage, you do.

The loveliest roses sometimes bear the ugliest thorns.

A seed only begins to manifest its greatest potential the day it is buried in dirt.

Be the calm in someone else’s storm.

To encourage people, walk beside them. To inspire people, walk in front of them. To drive people, walk behind them. To lead people, walk with them.

The poor can dream. The weak can hope. The helpless can strive. The powerless can rise.

A single star shines brighter than a thousand moons.

A day in a storm strengthens you more than a thousand in sunshine.

It is in vain to hide a fruitful seed in fertile soil.

First visualize your goal in your mind. Then have a leap of faith, and let your passion guide you throughout the process.

Look closely at your greatest thoughts about yourself. That's your future.

A flower’s beauty is birthed in a seed’s ugly struggles.

During my school years, I was never a brilliant student, but just an average one, with only above average level of curiosity.

Many books describe different problem solving techniques, but solving complicated problems in reality is not so easy.

Outer beauty you see with your eyes, but inner beauty you only see with your heart.

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

When turbulence hits your sails remind yourself it is an opportunity to get to the shore quicker.

If birds did not believe in their ability to fly, the sky would be empty.

Water your dreams with fear, and they will wilt; with doubt, and they will wither; with hope, and they will grow; with faith, and they will flourish.

A bird will only fall from the sky when it stops believing in its ability to fly, and a fish will only drown in water when it stops believing in its ability to swim.

Your mind is a gift. Your heart is a prize. Your soul is a blessing. Your life is a reward.

You were born to dream. You were born to strive. You were born to conquer. You were born to rise.

Worry makes you weaker, regret makes you sadder, hate makes you angrier, but hope makes you stronger, and love makes you happier.

Bad weather never stopped anyone from reaping a good harvest.

No matter how deep you bury good seeds, they always find a way to rise.

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.

The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.

Only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro.

Wine had to be grapes first. Diamonds had to be rocks first. Butterflies had to be caterpillars first. Rainbows had to be storms first.

If you can stay positive in bad situations, you are strong; if you can stay optimistic in hopeless situations, you are mighty; if you can stay hopeful in impossible situations, you are great.

Yesterday says, “Forget me, but learn from me.” Today says, “Embrace me, yet utilize me.”Tomorrow says, “Anticipate me, then prepare for me.

If you can stay positive in bad situations, you are strong; if you can stay positive in hopeless situations, you are mighty; if you can stay positive in impossible situations, you are great.

The ugliest storms paint the loveliest rainbows.

Thunder roars but does not strike. Lightning strikes but does not roar. Choose to be lightning.

The sun is intelligent because it never rises too early, and wise because it never sets too late.

A dove struggling in a storm grows stronger than an eagle soaring in sunshine.

Faith moves mountains, intelligence goes over them, wisdom goes around them, but love levels them.

The world is full of angels; if you can’t find one, be one.

You are better than your past, greater than your present, and brighter than your future.

Follow your dreams with all of your mind. Chase your dreams with all of your heart. Accomplish your dreams with all of your soul.

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

Dear past, I survived you. Dear present, I’m ready for you. Dear future, I’m coming for you.

Stars earn their brightest colors in the dark.

If you have a dream no one else can see, a reward awaits you that no one else can have.

If you guide others out of the dark, you are a star, even if no one knows your name.

When life’s journey is wearisome, put on hope’s shoes.

Be happy when you work, thankful when you earn, cautious when you spend, shrewd when you save, and charitable when you give.

You are a gift to the universe, but a package is only valuable if it allows itself to be unwrapped.

Your strength lies in knowledge, your power lies in wisdom, your treasure lies in understanding, and your wealth lies in life.

It is on the canvass of the darkest storms that the brightest rainbows are painted.

A flower blooming in a storm is stronger than a tree blossoming under a rainbow.

No matter how tall and wide darkness is, it cannot block the stars.

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

Where the world only sees a seed, an optimist sees a tree.

You have little control over the world around you, but full control over the world within you.

If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.

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

Learn from roses; even when trampled they give off perfume, not despair.

When you count your blessings, count life twice.

You are beloved; even if you were the last person on earth, the sun would rise for you.

When you have the world on your shoulders, God alone can help you carry it.

If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich.

If beautiful lilies bloom in ugly waters, you too can blossom in ugly situations.

Seeds are proof that God sometimes packages miracles in small things.

The storm only comes to teach you how to skillfully sail your ship.

As inside of every seed is the power to rise from darkness, inside of everyone is the power to rise from adversity.

A rock that perseveres under heat and pressure soon becomes a diamond.

If the storm forgets to bring a rainbow, paint your own.

When the sails are strong a ship has no reason to fear turbulence.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and use it to hang your troubles.

Your end can be greater than your beginning: butterflies are the greatest proof of this.

The sun announces its presence with light, not words; do likewise.

When the world told the caterpillar its life was over, the butterfly objected, “My life has just begun.

When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.

An Oak tree is a daily reminder that great things often have small beginnings.

Every seed must rise through dirt to enjoy the sunshine.

Never allow yourself to be defined by your past; ‘yesterday’ is just a word, not a dictionary.

If the grass is greener on the other side, try planting better seeds.

Ignore your haters. Resist your fears. Embrace your dreams.

A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blossoming in a rainforest.

When night comes do not despair; rejoice instead and say to yourself, “At least now I can see the stars.

It can’t be done,” they told the caterpillar. “It can,” replied the butterfly.

If they ask you how rich you are, tell them to look inside your heart.

You are as the sun; the world is your stage; even without an audience, shine.

A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.

If seeds despaired in their darkest hours, they would never rise to enjoy their brightest days.

Today’s storms usher in tomorrow’s sunshine.

Your deepest scars tell the world of your greatest triumphs.

When people try to bury you, remind yourself you are a seed.

If you have the power to put a smile on one person’s face, you have the power to change the world.

Be like seeds; do not see dirt thrown at you as your enemy, but as ground to grow.

The beauty all around you is insignificant in comparison to the beauty within you.

The rainbow’s colors are hidden in the storm.

The darkest part of the storm paints the brightest part of the rainbow.
