“The world's greatest strength is inside your heart, the universe's highest power is inside your soul.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“Be true to yourself.
Be true to others.
Be true to everyone.
Be false to none.

Insecure people don’t know who they are,
fearless people embrace who they are,
self-aware people know who they are,
and self-respecting people love who they are.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

It is easier to rise with enemies than to fall with friends.
It is easier to fall into sin than to rise into virtue.
It is easier to rise from defeat than to rise from ignorance.
It is easier to survive a blow from a friend than a kiss from an enemy.
It is easier to conquer a thousand devils than a single angel.
It is easier to rise from love than to soar from hate.
It is easier to move mountains by faith than hills by your hands.
It is easier for stars to shine than for truth to glow.

It is easier for the sun to shine than for the moon to glow.
It is easier for small seeds to rise than for big trees to grow.
It is easier to heal a wounded heart than a broken soul.
It is easier to rule the mind than to conquer the soul.
It is easier to conquer your enemies than to master your fears.”
