Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.

True heroism consists in rising superior to misfortune.

Fix your course on a star and you'll navigate any storm.

There are few misfortunes in this world that you cannot turn into a personal triumph if you have the iron will and the necessary skill.

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a new way to stand.

Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end.
