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

A genuine smile is one of the world’s rarest treasures.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.

If you cry in the rain, only the sky will see your tears.

Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.
