Stars shine even for those who refuse to look up.

If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.

If stars needed the sky's permission to shine, the universe would be a very dark place.

Stars do not pull each other down to be more visible; they shine brighter.

When surrounded by darkness your only duty is to shine.

Be noble like the sun; let even those who resent you for shinning benefit from your warmth.

Be like the sun; never let the opinions of those who hate you dull your shine.

A star is not honored for its size, but for its light.

Your smile shines on the world, your tears sweep the universe.
