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.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

History is a record of the incessant struggle of humanity against ignorance and oppression.
