It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.
To shine your brightest light is to be who you truly are.
The shadow is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light.
Better to illuminate than merely to shine, to deliver to others contemplated truths than merely to contemplate.
Shadow owes its birth to light.
Our deeds still travel with us from afar, and what we have been makes us what we are.
The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges.
Even in the darkest night, there will be a ray of light.

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Turn your face toward the sun and the shadows will fall behind you.
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
The brightest flame casts the darkest shadow.
