Quote by Matshona Dhliwayo

“If I force you to be like me, I have failed you. If you force me to be like you, you have failed me. If you force anyone to be someone else, you have failed the world. If I encourage you to be you, I have empowered you. If you encourage me to be me, you have empowered me. If you encourage anyone to be themselves, you have elevated the world.”

“There is no entrance that joy cannot enter, no door that faith cannot open, no bridge that patience cannot cross, and no wall that love cannot breach. There is no entrance that hope cannot enter, no door that truth cannot open, no bridge that grace cannot cross, and no wall that humility cannot breach. There is no entrance that knowledge cannot enter, no door that curiosity cannot open, no bridge that understanding cannot cross, and no wall that wisdom cannot breach. There is no entrance that time cannot enter, no door that chance cannot open, no bridge that destiny cannot cross, and no wall that eternity cannot breach. There is no entrance that the mind cannot enter, no door that the heart cannot open, no bridge that the soul cannot cross, and no wall that the individual cannot breach.”

“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.”
