“There is no priest purer than virtue,
no prophet greater than faith,
no preacher louder than prudence,
no principality higher than goodness,
and no power larger than love.

There is no saint warmer than mercy,
no angel swifter than joy,
no nurse gentler than compassion,
no pleasure sweeter than excitement,
and no breeze cooler than peace.

There is no student brighter than knowledge,
no scholar sharper than intelligence,
no teacher wiser than understanding,
no disciple cleverer than humility,
and no master loftier than wisdom.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“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

“Women Rule,” that’s the way I see it. “Beside every great man there is a powerful woman. The same does not hold true for every successful woman. A lot of us are single because men want to wear the pants, even if they didn’t buy them.”
― Mary B. Morrison
