The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.
The human being is born with an incurable capacity for making the best of things.
Personally I do not believe in a national agency devoted only to the negro blind because in spirit and principle I am against all segregation, and the blind already have difficulties enough without being cramped and harassed by social barriers.
Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.
Look the world straight in the eye.
Be happy, talk happiness. Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours.
