"Flowers have to stretch to bloom."
- Matshona Dhliwayo
"Your mind is greater than your problems,your heart is greater than your troubles,your soul is greater than your temptations,and your God is greater than your obstacles."
"Broken pencils still write beautiful songs."
"Pain frees you from complacency.Tears free you from sorrow.Weaknesses free you from pride.Adversity frees from boredom.Challenges free you from monotony."
"It is at night, not in the day, that stars shine the brightest."
"Impossible is what you say to yourself when you have given up."
"Only because of darkness are we able to clearly see the stars."
"Adversity is the evil twin of reward."
"Your breaking point is often your blessing point."
"As water drowns but also cleanses, so adversity scalds but also blesses."
