I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.

Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.

Things must be felt with the heart.

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

The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.

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

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.
