The storm is the optimist’s friend, but the pessimist’s nightmare.

If the past could be changed, it would not exist. If the future could be stopped, it would not survive. If the present could be avoided, it would not prevail.

The greatest lesson a tree can give you is to stand tall and proud, no matter how strong life’s winds blow against you.

We are all born stars, but some refuse to shine and others make it their life’s mission to glow.

A warrior is defined by his scars, not his medals.

The struggles of the past are the gateway to the blessings of the future.
