Turbulence stretches a tree.

If dirt was truly worthless, nothing valuable would flourish in it.

It is in deep waters that the greatest fish learn how to swim.

A rose in a desert can only survive on its strength, not its beauty.

Where there are no thorns there are no roses.

It is better to look forward to summer than to curse winter.

Throwing dirt on a seed only increases its value.

The world may be responsible for pushing you down, but you are responsible for pulling yourself up.

The road to success is paved with doubters and haters.
