Matshona Dhliwayo

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.

A single star shines brighter than a thousand moons.

The poor can dream. The weak can hope. The helpless can strive. The powerless can rise.

To encourage people, walk beside them. To inspire people, walk in front of them. To drive people, walk behind them. To lead people, walk with them.

The storm is the optimist__ friend, but the pessimist__ nightmare.

The struggles of the past are the gateway to the blessings of the future.

A seed only begins to manifest its greatest potential the day it is buried in dirt.

Be the calm in someone else__ storm.

The loveliest roses sometimes bear the ugliest thorns.

If the sky never grew dark, we would not be able to clearly see the stars.

A leaf has no power to resist when the wind blows, but when life__ storms rage, you do.

The sky is the limit only if you have a problem with reaching for the stars.

In order for a seed to rise, it must be buried in dirt; likewise, in order for the great to rise they must be buried in adversity.

In thoughts, be wise. In speech, be cautious. In sentiment, be positive. In actions, be prudent.

A flower does not fulfill its destiny until it blooms, and a star does not fulfill its destiny until it shines.

Learn from the ocean; not fearing turbulence, it uses the wind against it to rise instead.

The darkest storms color the brightest rainbows.
