You are better than your past, greater than your present, and brighter than your future.

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

A fish that is afraid of drowning in a river is ignorant of its gifts.

A diamond earns its sparkle from the pressure it endures.

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.

Birds keep singing beautiful songs, even if they have no audience.

Today's storms help you appreciate tomorrow’s sunshine.

Train the ears to hear more, the eyes to see more, the hands to do more, the feet to accomplish more, the mind to think more, the heart to feel more, and the soul to love more.

Nothing consumes time like nothing.

I don't think anyone is free - one creates one's own prison.

I have something to prove, as long as I know there's something that needs improvement, and you know that everytime I move, I make a woman's movement.

I love a strong brow and ChapStick with glowing skin and messy hair. I'm a minimalist at heart.

I always wanted to get into politics, but I was never light enough to make the team.

A woman whose face looked as if it had been made of sugar and someone had licked it.

Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout 'Bang!'

Opportunities present themselves and you have to enjoy the ride. All of us get so worried about the next step that we don't enjoy the moment we're in right now.

It's usually when the cameras leave that the support leaves as well.

I'm not in business to make money for the other guy. I'm in business to make money for myself.
