A river is an ocean in a desert.

A cactus is a desert's rose.

Water is a desert's gold.

It is the desert that tests a seed's strength.

If seeds waited for perfect conditions to grow, there would be no plants in the desert.

Planting a flower in the desert takes greater skill than growing a garden in a rain forest.

If you live in the desert, view the sun not as your enemy, but as your friend. If you live in the wilderness, view nature not as your adversary, but as your companion.

A flower in a desert still has no reason to envy a thorn in a rainforest.

A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blossoming in a rainforest.
