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

For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.

It is certain that I cannot always distinguish my own thoughts from those I read, because what I read becomes the very substance and text of my mind.

I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.

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

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

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
