Every optimistic path will take you farther, faster, and to greater altitude than any road of pessimism.

Criticism is a painful pill to swallow, but it always makes you better.

Every diamond has the ability to shine when there is someone to recognize its good facets and inhibit its flaws.

Ignorance fears diversity as an invading enemy, while wisdom welcomes diversity in an alliance of friendship.

A perception of impossibility should never go unchallenged.

Pessimists beat their heads against walls, while optimists open doors.

When the world grinds you down, bent to tear you apart, cling to what you hold dear, and stay true to your heart. For the world has a way to dismantle your cause, to exploit what you lack and expose all your flaws. But when every layer of your being is gone, and it seems there's no point anymore to go on; just remember one thing, at the end of the day, when you have self-respect they can't take that away.
