Usually they are quick to discover that I cannot see or hear.... It is not training but love which impels them to break their silence about me with the thud of a tail rippling against my chair on gambols round the study, or news conveyed by expressive ear, nose, and paw. Often I yearn to give them speech, their motions are so eloquent with things they cannot say.

Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.

If you look toward the sunshine, you will never see the shadows.

Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

When one door of hapiness closes, another opens.
