“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

“Jealousy stings,
envy poisons,
anger burns,
and hatred murders.

Peace heals,
laughter remedies,
joy cures,
and love restores.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

“If you love people, and they hate you, esteem them anyway.
If you help people, and they hurt you, sustain them anyway.
If you embrace people, and they shun you, cherish them anyway.
If you console people, and they hate you, respect them anyway.

If you trust people, and they betray you, appreciate them anyway.
If you teach people, and they ignore you, enlighten them anyway.
If you adore people, and they shun you, honor them anyway.
If you applaud people, and they despise you, regard them anyway.

If you forgive people, and they offend you, shelter them anyway.
If you defend people, and they attack you, uphold them anyway.
If you raise people, and they lower you, inspire them anyway.
If you draw people, and they repel you, encourage them anyway.”
Matshona Dhliwayo

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