It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

In times of danger large groups rise to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, courage and sacrifice . . . Mankind will be refashioned and history rewritten when this law is understood and obeyed.

If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.

I have made my limitations tools of learning and true joy.

I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.

I am a child of my generation, and I rejoice that I live in such splendidly disturbing times.

A good education is a stepping-stone to wealth.
