You were not born to impress the world, but to impress the universe.

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

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

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

You are a product of your environment, but to be great your environment has to be a product of you.

Think outside of the box. Work outside of the box. Dream outside of the box. Succeed outside of the box.

In a crowd do not lose your individuality, and in your individuality do not lose the crowd.

They know your face, but not your mind.They understand your words, but not your heart.They hear your name, but not your soul.They grasp your past, but not your future.

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

If birds sing without worrying about who is listening to them, and monkeys dance without worrying about who is watching them, and hyenas laugh without worrying about who is mocking them, then you too must do what you do best without worrying about who is ridiculing you.

In a world full of pebbles dare to be a diamond.

Just because everyone is behaving like a clown, it doesn’t mean you have to join the circus.

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

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

In a world full of daisies dare to be a rose.

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

Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom.

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

The world accommodates you for fitting in, but only rewards you for standing out.

In the presence of the sun nobody sees the stars; excel, and you too will eclipse your competition.

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

Shine your light so bright, and no one will need a telescope to see you.

Wolves travel in packs, but the fiercest travel alone.

An original pebble is better than a counterfeit diamond.

It is better to be a star for one day than a moon for a lifetime.

Light cannot hide its beauty, not even in darkness.

In a world full of game players, the only way to set yourself apart is to be a game changer.

Stars shine so they can see the world, not so the world can see them.

Ordinary people pursue money, simple people pursue power, average people pursue fame, but extraordinary people pursue ideas.

Stars are not praised for shining during the day, but at night.

To be a good leader, win minds; to be a great leader, win heart’s; and to be an extraordinary leader, win souls.
