A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.

When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.

While the right friends are near us, we feel that all is well. Our everyday life blossoms suddenly into bright possibilities.

When one comes to think of it, there are no such things as divine, immutable, or inalienable rights. Rights are things we get when we are strong enough to make good our claim on them.
