Happiness is the final and perfect fruit of obedience to the laws of life.

So long as I confine my activities to social service and the blind, they compliment me extravagantly, calling me 'arch priestess of the sightless,' 'wonder woman,' and a 'modern miracle.' But when it comes to a discussion of poverty, and I maintain that it is the result of wrong economics-that the industrial system under which we live is at the root of much of the physical deafness and blindness in the world-that is a different matter!

I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.

History is a record of the incessant struggle of humanity against ignorance and oppression.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.

It gives me a deep comforting sense that Things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal.
