Matshona Dhliwayo

You cannot truly know pleasure without pain.You cannot truly know strength without weakness.You cannot truly know joy without sorrow.You cannot truly know hope without despair.

It is possible to draw a straight line with a crooked pencil.

The weaknesses of the wise are better than the strengths of fools.

A slap from an angel will make you wiserthan a kiss from the devil.

Bait, no matter how big, is useless if fish do not desire it.

When the lion is wounded do not stroke its mare.

Love is free, but priceless.Wisdom is precious, but costless.Faith is gentle, but fearless.Joy is scarce, but limitless.Truth is simple, but matchless.

Elders in the dark see better than children in the light.

It is not for a vulture to teach an eagle how to hunt.

A little wisdom can lead to great understanding.A little curiosity can lead to great discoveries.A little talent can lead to great achievements.A little love can lead to great virtue.A little faith can lead to great miracles.A little opportunity can lead to great success.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Hope is not the absence of trouble. Joy is not the absence of pain. Love is not the absence of obstacles.

Wind has no feet,but travels great distances,and has no hands,but carries great objects.

Wisdom lies at the edge of intelligence.Joy lies at the edge of happiness.Faith lies at the edge of boldness.Love lies at the edge of kindness.God lies at the edge of righteousness.

Half a brain is better than none.

Truth is the highest knowledge.Faith is the highest courage.Reason is the highest wisdom.Love is the highest virtue.

You cannot cross large rivers without building bridges.

Knowledge is the seed,intelligence is the stem,understanding is the branch,and wisdom is the fruit.

Fish rule the waters,but can be caught using worms.Birds rule the air,but can be caught using grain.
