"Don't forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy Skies."
"There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there."
"The Warrior knows about the "waterfall effect"."
"I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and to rest in the shallows. I love you because we are all born in the same place, at the same source, which keeps us provided with a constant supply of water. And so, when we feel weak, all we have to do is wait a little. The spring returns, and the winter snows melt and fill us with new energy."
"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."
