Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo

“If you waste time looking at the clouds, you might miss the stars. If you waste time looking at the storm, you might miss the rainbow. If you waste time looking at the rain, you might miss the sunshine. If you waste time looking at the seeds, you might miss the harvest. If you waste time looking at the river, you might miss the ocean. If you waste time looking at the thorns, you might miss the roses. If you waste time looking at the past, you might miss the future. If you waste time looking at the losses, you might miss the victories. If you waste time looking at the tragedies, you might miss the miracles.”

“Don’t mourn over the past, it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present, it has no sympathy for you; and don’t weep over the future, it has no mercy on you. You can mourn for the past, but it has already gone. You can cry over the present, but it has already arrived; and you can weep over the future, but it was already within you.”
