Surely there is no road of effort so steep but a loving deed may soften its hardshness.

Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles... Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

Blindness separates people from things; deafness separates people from people.

Surely there is no road of effort so steep but a loving deed may soften its hardshness.
