I'm strong because I've been weak. I'm brave because I've been afraid. I'm wise because I've been foolish.
Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.
A strong person is not the one who doesn't cry. A strong person is one who is quiet and sheds tears for a moment and then picks up the sword and fights again.
Always stand up for what you believe in... even if it means standing alone.
Never tolerate disrespect. The more chances you give someone the less respect they'll start to have for you. They'll begin to ignore the standards that you've set because they'll know another chance will always be given. They're not afraid...
Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
I never cared about the material things someone could give me. I care about time, attention, honesty, loyalty, and effort. Those gifts mean more than anything money could buy.
Distance yourself from the people who 1. Lie to you. 2. Disrespect you. 3. Use you. 4. Put you down.
You'll never be brave if you don't get hurt. You'll never learn if you don't make mistakes. You'll never be successful if you don't encounter failure.
