Only what is below you tries to pull you down.

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

Jealousy says, “Compete with each other.” Envy says, “Destroy each other.” Empathy says, “Help each other.” Love says, “Empower each other.

Hate is strong, fear is mighty, jealousy is powerful, but love is invincible.

No one tries to stone a tree whose fruit is not ripe.

When reaching for the stars, beware of those who want to cut off your hands.

Jealousy stings, envy poisons, anger harms, and hate murders.

Don’t try to silence other people’s genius because you’re too deaf to hear your own.

A rose, no matter how beautiful, still has to contend with thorns.

A flower does not diminish in beauty, no matter how many weeds envy it.

Ignore those who resent you. Avoid those who begrudge you. Excuse those who envy you. Pity those who hate you.

A flower in a desert still has no reason to envy a thorn in a rainforest.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore all.

As only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro, never allow yourself to be swayed by popular opinion.

It is in vain to try and stop a star from rising, even with a ladder.

To achieve success, ignore doubt; fame, ignore haters; greatness, ignore fear; and immortality, ignore hardship.

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

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

The louder the dogs bark the less a lion feels threatened.

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

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

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

The larger the bricks your enemies throw at you the larger the palace you are going to build.

Smile, just to infuriate those who envy you.

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

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

When people try to pull you down, remember, they had to look up to do so.

Be who your enemies dread you'll become.

They fired arrows at me, but I did not fire back. I picked them up instead to build my castle.

Learn from seeds to rise, no matter how much dirt is thrown at you.

To avoid enemies, say nothing; to avoid critics, do nothing; to avoid haters, be nothing; but to avoid mediocrity, ignore them all.

If a lion turned every time small dogs barked at it, it would be the laughing stock of the jungle.

The road to success is paved with doubters and haters.

If the grass is greener on the other side, start watering your own.

The bigger the bricks critics throw at you the bigger the palace you are going to build.

When your critics raise hell keep building your heaven.

Believe in yourself, not in your critics.

The opinion of success matters more than the opinions of your critics.

If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.

The higher you rise, the smaller your enemies.

Loud critics are silenced by loud success.

People only stone a tree that is full of ripe fruit.

One who throws stones at others has less to use to build his own house.

A rose does not lose sleep because it was mocked by weeds.

You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.

It is in vain to stone the sky, no matter how big the rock is.

If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.

In order to bring down the great, you have to be able to reach the stars.

You have not accomplished anything significant if no one envies you.

Rising amateurs always intimidate falling masters.

Critics do not determine how high an eagle flies.

Do not trust everyone who smiles at you;some admire your achievements,but some misunderstand them,and many more envy them.Jealousy is like the sky:everywhere on everyone.

You become strong by lifting others up, not pulling them down.

It is not the fault of the stars that they shine brightly, but the fault of our eyes that they cannot handle light.

As a bird with beautiful feathers is the target of hunters, so the gifted are targets of the envious.

You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions of you.

Do not hold grudges against those who try to keep you down; the higher you go, the smaller they become. Do not trust those who try to push you down once you are up;the more envious they are, the more dangerous they become.

Envy is admiration laced with resentment.

When the sun rises it casts a shadow on what does not shine as bright as it.
