"The desert is harsh, but persevering flowers flourish."
- Matshona Dhliwayo
"The loveliest flowers sometimes grow in the ugliest places."
"Your back may be pushed against the wall, but your brain is not."
"Caged birds still sing beautiful symphonies."
"Seeds pour out oil when pressed.Grapes pour out wine when squeezed.Herbs pour out medicine when pounded.Flowers pour out perfume when crushed.The gifted pour out excellence when tested."
"He who runs from a challenge runs from an opportunity."
"The most beautiful rainbows are sometimes formed in the ugliest storms."
"When darkness comes,stars shine.When storms come,plants flourish.When adversity comes,champions triumph."
"A flower does not lose its beauty because it grew on concrete."
"Flowers still have to stretch to bloom."
