If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.

True respect comes when we fend for ourselves without the aid of anyone, and when we owned something and say, 'this is my own'! Not necessarily as a way of boasting of our abundance and grace, but having a feeling that we can use it without obstruction, or being asked to return the favor.

Don't let the rain drive you to the wrong shelter; the shade can turn out to be your protector and also your destroyer, and sometimes the rain is the perfect protector from the rain.

Always remember that you were once alone, and the crowd you see in your life today are just as unecessary as when you were alone.

When you are convinced that what you offer is yours, whether it be mediocre or of standard quality, your originality will make people love you in a way you did not expect.

Don't pretend to be what you're not, instead, pretend to what you want to be, it is not pretence, it is a journey to self realization.

Real men don't dance to other people's tune, instead, they play for others to dance.

Believing the phenomenon of karma is placing your destiny in the hands of the devil.

If you lead me astray, then my wanderings will bring me to my destination.
