Diamonds are valuable because they are uncommon; sand is worthless because it is common; be yourself and you will be a diamond.

A star would lose its value if it tried to be something else; just be yourself.

If you can stay positive in bad situations, you are strong; if you can stay optimistic in hopeless situations, you are mighty; if you can stay hopeful in impossible situations, you are great.

The weak dread the storm, the foolish invite the storm, the wise avoid the storm,
the strong battle the storm, and the great overcome the storm.

You are an original masterpiece; imitating someone else diminishes your value.

In the body is tremendous strength, in the mind is brilliant potential, in the heart is extraordinary influence, and in the soul is remarkable power.
