Never despair if you have to start at the bottom; not even the sun rises from the top.

No matter how tall and wide darkness is, it cannot block the stars.

One who conquers the sea today is ready to conquer the ocean tomorrow.

If you fail a thousand times, find a thousand and one ways to succeed.

A tree is honored for the size of its fruit, not the size of its leaves.

If the road to your dreams is full of potholes, take the highway.

To achieve success, ignore doubt; fame, ignore haters; greatness, ignore fear; and immortality, ignore hardship.

Never despise a seed; one day it will rise and bloom into a forest.

If beautiful lilies bloom in ugly waters, you too can blossom in ugly situations.
