And the creation
Between the emotion

Court for virtue, and you will live prudently.
Court for fame, and you will live insincerely.
Court for love, and you will live joyously.

Marry for money, and you will live lavishly.
Marry for virtue, and you will live honorably.
Marry for fame, and you will live prominently.
Marry for love, and you will live happily.

Divorce for money, and you will live poorly.
Divorce for virtue, and you will live peacefully.
Divorce for fame, and you will live miserably.
Divorce for love, and you will live tragically.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

“Compassion is a seed,
empathy is the root,
kindness is the stem,
charity is the tree,
and love is the fruit.

Intelligence is a seed,
understanding is the root,
intuition is the stem,
knowledge is the tree,
and wisdom is the fruit.

Skill is a seed,
talent is the root,
excellence is the stem,
brilliance is the tree,
and genius is the fruit.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo
