health in all lands is among the indispensable guarantees of human progress.

More than at any other time, when I hold a beloved book in my hand my limitations fall from me, my spirit is free.

I will eat grandfather for dinner.

I trust, and I recognize the beneficence of the power which we all worship as supreme- Order, Fate, the Great Spirit, Nature, God. I recognize this power in the sun that makes all things grow and keeps life afoot. I make a friend of this indefinable force…this is my religion of optimism.

Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.

Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.

Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
