No rain no rainbow.

Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that setbacks and griefs which endure help us in our march forward.

Life's blows cannot break a person whose spirit is warmed at the fire of enthusiasm!

You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.

Waves are inspiring not because they rise and fall, but because each time they fall they never fail to rise again.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

Surely what a man does when he is in an uncomfortable situation is the best evidence for the sort of man he is.

This is the mark of a really admirable man: steadfastness in the face of trouble.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.

Be like the flower, turn your face to the sun.

Do you feel gloomy? Lift your eyes. Stand on your feet. Say a few words of appreciation and love to the lord. Be positive.

The meeting of preparation with opportunity generates the offspring we call luck.

To succeed, jump as quickly as opportunity as you do at conclusions.

Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children.

Opportunities are usually disguised by hard work. So most people don’t recognize them.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn.

The obstacle in the path becomes that path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.

Have to and get to—both are choices. One is negative and one is positive. Choose the right one and it can change your life.

Aloha is free.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

The less you respond to negative people, the positive your life will become.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Let us affirm what seems to be the truth, that, whether one is or is not, one and the others in relation to themselves and one another, all of them, in every way, are and are not, and appear to be and appear not to be.

Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined or the insect, as well for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.

On some preference esteem is based; to esteem everything is to esteem nothing.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Be not swept off your feet by the vividness of the impression, but say, “Impression, wait for me a little. Let me see what you are and what you represent. Let me try you.”
