A gem cannot be polished without friction nor a man perfected without trials.

“Life if well lived is long enough.”

“It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.”

“If you wished to be loved love.”

“Everything you want is on the other side of fear.”

“The only person who can pull me down is myself and I’m not going to let myself pull me down anymore.”

“Life is so much brighter when we focus on what truly matters.”

“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”
