If you kick a lion when it is down, God help you when it gets up.

A rose does not answer its enemies with words, but with beauty.

If roses were not special weeds would not envy them.

A swan is beautiful, even if mocked by ugly ducks.

A rose does not lose sleep because it was mocked by weeds.

If you tend to a flower, it will bloom, no matter how many weeds surround it.

One who throws stones at others has less to use to build his own house.

It is in vain to stone the sky, no matter how big the rock is.

An eagle never loses sleep over a turkey's sentiments.
