Matshona Dhliwayo

Only a fool lights a fire and tries to hide at the same time.

Love, no matter how small, begets kindness.Joy, no matter how small, begets cheerfulness.Wisdom, no matter how small, begets intelligence.Faith, no matter how small, begets persistence.Genius, no matter how small, begets excellence.

Small bait cast properly can catch big fish.

Anything built on doubt is rocky.Anything built on fear is shaky.Anything built on hate is unsteady.Anything built on wisdom is trustworthy.Anything built on faith is sturdy.Anything built on love is mighty.

Water has no hands,but carries great ships.Air has no shoulders,but carries large planes.The Sun has no eyes,but finds its way around the universe.

What you were is yesterday.What you are is now.What you can be is tomorrow.What you decide to be is today.

Wisdom frees men, even if they are in prison.

Slaves of wisdom are masters of many.

Why weep when it takes less energy to laugh? Why frown when it takes less energy to smile? Why despair when it takes less energy to hope? Why fear when it takes less energy to love?

Love costs us much,but we still need it.Wisdom costs us much,but we still seek it.Faith costs us much,but we still practice it.Life costs us much,but we still desire it.

It is impossible for a man to outpace his shadow.

The sun that warms is also the sun that burns.

Learning is intelligence.Knowing is understanding.Practicing is wisdom.Teaching is virtue.

Knowledge will give you strength,but wisdom will give you power.Talent will give you respect,but genius will give you honor.Pleasure will give you happiness,but joy will give you contentment.Strength will give you fortitude,but love will give you dominion.Courage will give you victory,but faith will give you greatness.Virtue will give you the world,but God will give you universe.

Pain helps the body grow.Riddles help the mind grow.Loss helps the heart grow.Temptations help the soul grow.

Letting go of sorrow gives you enough strength to carry happiness.Letting go of anger gives you enough strength to carry kindness.Letting go of fear gives you enough strength to carry hopefulness.Letting go of resentment gives you enough strength to carry gratefulness.Letting go of disappointment gives you enough strength to carry joyfulness.Letting go of avarice gives you enough strength to carry contentedness.

Seek wisdom, and success will find you.

If you chase a butterfly, it will escape;if you feed it, it will come.
