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

While the right friends are near us, we feel that all is well. Our everyday life blossoms suddenly into bright possibilities.

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.

The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.

What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self.

It is so pleasant to learn about new things. Every day I find how little I know, but I do not feel discouraged since God has given me an eternity in which to learn more.

Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach
