We are all born stars, but some refuse to shine and others make it their life’s mission to glow.
Looking up at the stars only proves you admire them, but shining your light proves you are like them.
Light does not have to beg darkness to shine.
A star is not afraid of darkness, for its light comes from within.
A diamond only truly appreciates pressure the day it begins to shine.
It is impossible for a star to shine and not get noticed, even in the dark.
Light another’s path and the universe will light your own.
A flower does not fulfill its destiny until it blooms, and a star does not fulfill its destiny until it shines.
A single star shines brighter than a thousand moons.
A day in a storm strengthens you more than a thousand in sunshine.
Be like the sun; bear with those in the dark, but keep shining your light.
Your mind shines brightest when you enlighten others; your heart, when you encourage others; your soul, when you elevate others; and your life, when you empower others.
You can paint the whole sky black, but that won’t keep stars from shinning.
As paint needs a canvass for its beauty to show, stars need darkness for their splendor to shine.
If you want your inner light to shine brighter, illuminate someone else’s.
In a world full of pebbles dare to be a diamond.
If you want to shine, sit before a lamp; if you want to shine brighter, sit before a fire; but if you want to shine the brightest, sit before a sage.
No matter how tall and wide darkness is, it cannot block the stars.
You are as the sun; the world is your stage; even without an audience, shine.
When a rock transforms into a diamond, lesser stones will not speak of its beauty, but speak of its unpolishedness.
The beauty all around you is insignificant in comparison to the beauty within you.
Stars shine on us, but talent shines in us.
A star on its worst day shines brighter than the moon on its best day.
Learn from stars; when dark times try to dull your sparkle, shine.
In the presence of the sun nobody sees the stars; excel, and you too will eclipse your competition.
If the light within you is greater than the darkness around you, you are a star.
Shine your light so bright, and no one will need a telescope to see you.
A star that is determined to shine cannot be hidden, not even by darkness.
Be like stars; instead of cursing the darkness, shine.
A star earns the right to shine the day it is born.
When your inner light shines your outer world glows.
It is impossible for light to bow before darkness.
You can curse the sun a thousand times, but cannot keep it from shining, even for a day.
It is not the size of the candle that matters, but the size of its light.
Be like stars; when darkness tries to stop you from shining, shine all the more.
Light cannot hide its beauty, not even in darkness.
If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.
Light in your soul kindles the light in your world.
The heart smiles when the soul shines.
A candle is at its brightest in the dark.
It is not the fault of the stars that they shine brightly, but the fault of our eyes that they cannot handle light.
Stars are not praised for shining during the day, but at night.
A star never lets anything dull its sparkle, not even darkness.
No dark cloud can forever prevent the sun from shining!
By lighting another’s candle you brighten your own.
