It's your life-but only if you make it so.

I have always seen life personally; my interest or sympathy or indignation is not aroused by an abstract cause but by the plight of a single person...Out of my response to an individual develops an awareness of a problem to the community, then to the country, then to the world.

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can't be done.

The things you refuse to meet today always come back at you later on, usually under circumstances which make the decision twice as difficult as it originally was.

If you lose money you lose much, If you lose friends you lose more, If you lose faith you lose all.

It is so much easier to be enthusiastic than to reason!
