A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.

The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.

I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

The infinite wonders of the universe are revealed to us in exact measure as we are capable of receiving them. The keenness of our vision depends not on how much we can see, but on how much we feel.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
