“Little Light

There is this little light within,
Her name is Hope,
And I know that as long as I can feel her there,
Just beneath my skin,
Sending her waves within the labyrinth of my mind,
She is snugly at peace within my heart,
And I have a chance.”
― Christine Evangelou, Pieces: A Poetry Anthology

“Shine Bright

Take it from me
This life is amazing
You are the one with power
To choose what you desire
Please make the right choice
Do not just make noise
Have a voice
Which people can listen to
Be that special person
Who is known for solutions
And not for causing trouble
You have what it takes
To turn this world around
Let go of any self-doubt
Get out of the mud
Shake off the dust
Work hard, my child
Make sure you shine bright”
― Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman

“It’s easier to forgive someone who was wrong than to forgive someone who was right.”

“As the face of beauty grows dim with age, so gradually the brilliancy of youth fades from the pearl and the complexion of it is changed. And yet it retains a certain loveliness which may be well compared to the exquisite serenity with which the maturer years of some women are adorned.”
― Wallis Richard Cattelle, The pearl
