Matshona Dhliwayo

Not all of us were meant to teach,but all of us were meant to learn.Not all of us were meant to lead,but all of us were meant to serve.Not all of us were meant to be rich,but all of us were meant to be charitable.Not all of us were meant to be famous,but all of us were meant to be upright.Not all of us were meant to be mighty,but all of us were meant to persevere.Not all of us were meant to be extraordinary,but all of us were meant to prevail.

A cup of wisdom is more valuable than an ocean of intelligence.

Wisdom is finer than pearls.

Raising donkeys in the midst of horses will not make them sprinters.

If you light a fire, you cannot conceal the smoke.

Don't resist change if it is to your advantage.Don't ruin a good opportunity fixating on a bad one.Don't burn down bridges you will need to cross tomorrow.Don't expect other people to solve your problems.Don't let what's behind you dictate what's ahead of you.Don't lose sleep over anyone who doesn't lose sleep over you.Don__ let life's small arrows wound your big soul.

Don__ build a cabin near a termite colony.Don__ rear rabbits near wolves.Don__ attack a cub in front of its mother.Don__ stone a bird you want to catch.Don__ pick a flower before it blooms.Don__ pick fruit before it sweetens.Don__ count game you have not caught.Don__ hunt with a blunt spear.Don__ fish in poisoned waters.Don__ close your eyes near a predator.

To forsake wisdom is to seek folly,to seek folly is to seek evil,to seek evil is to be in the arms of the devil,and to be in the arms of the devil is be in the arms of death.

Seek God, but you will not find Him with your eyes;you will find Him with your heart. Listen to the wise, but you will not hear them with your ears;you will hear them with your heart.

It is better to lose friends than to lose your reputation, and better to lose riches than to lose your integrity.

There is no sharper spear than wisdom.There is no larger shield than faith.There is no better fortress than truth.There is no greater strength than hope.There is no higher power than love.

Do good.Spread love.Embrace all.Hurt none.

Don't take life for granted.Don't compare yourself to others.Don't run from your problems.Don't entertain negative people.Don't abuse your friendships.Don't hold onto the past.Don't throw away opportunities.Don't blame others for your failures.Don't quarrel over small issues.

Don't wait for wisdom to come and rescue you, seek it daily.

A mansion begins with one brick.A forest begins with one tree.A harvest begins with one seed.An ocean begins with one drop.A friendship begins with one gesture.A fire begins with one spark.A revolution begins with one idea.

Wisdom is a teacher,God is its professor.The wise are His students,life is His rod,and eternal life is our reward.

An eagle can mock a lion only because of its wings.

Fish cannot swim out of water.
