Virtue is persecuted more by the wicked than it is loved by the good.
The fragrance of sandalwood and rose bay does not travel far. But the fragrance of virtue rises to the heavens.
Buddha Dhammapada
Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.
Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
