A day in a storm strengthens you more than a thousand in sunshine.

It is in vain to hide a fruitful seed in fertile soil.

Wine had to be grapes first. Diamonds had to be rocks first. Butterflies had to be caterpillars first. Rainbows had to be storms first.

The weak dread the storm, the foolish invite the storm, the wise avoid the storm,the strong battle the storm, and the great overcome the storm.

Only dead leaves allow the wind to blow them to and fro.

Don’t resent the sky for its storms; esteem it for its rainbows.

If you can stay positive in bad situations, you are strong; if you can stay optimistic in hopeless situations, you are mighty; if you can stay hopeful in impossible situations, you are great.

The calmest part of the storm is not in its eye, but in your own soul.

You can paint the whole sky black, but that won’t keep stars from shinning.
