It is in the dark, not the light, that stars are born.

You cannot get perfume from a flower without crushing it.

In a world full of sheep dare to be a lion; in a world full of pigeons dare to be an eagle.

If you drop a gold coin in mud, it does not lose its value.

Behind every dark storm is a bright rainbow.

A determined seed cannot be hidden from the world, not even by dirt.

It is in the storm, not the calm, that a rainbow is born.

A star is a rock that could no longer hide its light from the world.

Calm skies don't make skillful eagles.
