No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.

I, for one, love strength, daring, fortitude. I do not want people to kill the fight in them; I want them to fight for right things.

When we complain of having to do the same thing over and over, let us remember that God does not send new trees, strange flowers and different grasses every year. When the spring winds blow, they blow in the same way. In the same places the same dear blossoms lift up the same sweet faces, yet they never weary us. When it rains, it rains as it always has. Even so would the same tasks which fill our daily lives put on new meanings if we wrought them in the spirit of renewal from within--a spirit of growth and beauty.

If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!

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

We still have it in our power to rise above the fears, imagined and real, and to shoulder the great burdens which destiny has placed upon us, not for our country alone, but for the benefit of all the world. That is the only destiny worthy of America.

Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
