“There is a fine line between:
ego and confidence,
weakness and cowardice,
piety and self-righteousness,
lust and infatuation,
patience and procrastination,
contentment and apathy,
fear and hatred,
greed and ambition,
sin and pleasure,
want and need,
and hope and delusion.

There is also a fine line between:
sleep and death,
rest and idleness,
envy and desire,
noise and music,
sight and blindness,
respect and idolatry,
poverty and crime,
corruption and equality,
tyranny and despair,
religion and exploitation,
and freewill and destiny.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“You are no greater than the thoughts you carry,
the knowledge you acquire,
the desires you harbor,
and the experiences you cherish.

You are no better than the friends you keep,
the books you read,
the heroes you admire,
and the obstacles you overcome.

You are no higher than the wisdom you retain,
the understanding you gain,
the faith you practice,
and the love you give.

You are no larger than the powerless you help,
the poor you enrich,
the weak you embolden,
and the fearful you inspire.

You are no bigger than the opponents you face,
the alliances you broker,
the battles you fight,
and the enemies you defeat.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

joy and happiness,
faith and courage,
honor and diplomacy,
peace and contentment,
kindness and love,
and God and spirituality.”
