Matshona Dhliwayo

The best opportunities sometimes have the worst appearances.The poorest people sometimes have the richest minds.The shallowest people sometimes have the deepest pockets.The quietest people sometimes have the wildest hearts.The meekest people sometimes have the greatest power.The calmest people sometimes have the uneasiest souls.The humblest people sometimes have the biggest accomplishments.

An open heart has greater power than a clenched fist.

Pearls of wisdom are better than necklaces of diamonds.

Sense will buy you more than dollars.

It is at the edge of intelligence that wisdom awaits.

Don't make excuses for your mistakes.Don't try to please your enemies.Don't run from your responsibilities.Don't force your opinions on others.Don't complain about things you can change.Don't compare yourself to anyone.Don't let undeserving people into your life.

One does not become a great swimmer by swimming in shallow waters.

What you seek for others you find for yourself.

Read when you can.Teach when you ought.Learn when you must.Apply when you should.

The most beautiful birds do not know how beautiful they are until they see their reflection in water.

A rose__ beautiful scent is extracted only when it is crushed.

A cat may have nine lives, but a wise person has a hundred.

A wise bird does not lend even the smallest of its feathers to a hunter.

Ask for a fish, and you only get one; ask for a net, and you can catch dozens.

The loveliest gifts sometimes come wrapped in the ugliest paper.

You cannot marry your past without divorcing your future.

The lowest wisdom of the wise is greater than the highest wisdom of fools.

Clear skies do not promise rain.
