By persistent hard work you will rise to success, but ultimately your accomplishments will be measured by how you treated your loved ones on the way up.

Those who judge children in their innocence, prove themselves the lesser of character and the greater of ignorance.

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.

No amount of hatred can prevent an enemy from being right sometimes.

Optimism is not the ability to live on the highest branch. It is the faith to learn to fly.

More is required than a common last name to truly be called a family.

When the hater's fire singes the hated, the hater has already been consumed.
