1. If you point to paradise, all the shortsighted will see is your finger.
2. To be blind momentarily when light hits your eyes is better than to be blind permanently when darkness hits your soul.
3. Light is a beautiful servant; darkness is a dangerous master.
4. You have not conquered anyone significant until you conquer yourself.
5. You have to fight great battles to guard your mind, extraordinary battles to protect your heart, and remarkable battles to defend your soul.
6. Don’t let people draw you into their darkness; pull them into your light.
7. When you love, you forgive; when you forgive, you love.
8. Love is a spirit, and therefore cannot die a natural death.
9. You are a god wrapped in flesh; the divinity you’ve always been seeking is wrapped within.
10. We are all artists; painting the world with our thoughts while coloring the universe with our deeds.
11. When you look in the mirror and see your reflection, your eyes are open; when you look in the mirror and see God, your soul is open.
12. God is the distance between light and darkness.
13. Private prayers are the catalyst for public miracles.
14. Practicing what you preach is the world’s most eloquent sermon.
15. God is the world’s oldest philosopher; love is the world’s oldest sage.
Love is your religion; the whole world is your temple.
~Matshona Dhliwayo
