Be like the sun; warm to everyone, even your enemies.

Be merry, because it confuses your enemies; happy, because it annoys them; cheerful, because it angers them; and joyful, because it kills them.

— Matshona Dhliwayo

Critics do not determine how high an eagle flies.

Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.
