The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.

Gullibility is the key to all adventures. The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he who gets the most out of life.

Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.

To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long in disappointment and bitterness at the closed door that we do not expectantly look for and therefore see with pleasure and gratitude the one which has been opened for us.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

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