Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.

We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.

To keep on trying in spite of disappointment and failure is the only way to keep young and brave. Failures become victories if they make us wise-hearted.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Serious harm, I am afraid, has been wrought to our generation by fostering the idea that they would live secure in a permanent order of things.

We the living, should not think of the dead as lonely because if they could speak to us, they would say: "Do not weep for me, earth was not my true country, I was an alien there: I am at Home where everyone comes."

The human being is born with an incurable capacity for making the best of things.
