While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.

I grow more and more suspicious of the political powers that take men away from their work and set them shooting one another.

Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

Observers in the full enjoyment of their bodily senses pity me, but it is because they do not see the golden chamber in my life where I dwell delighted; for, dark as my path may seem to them, I carry a magic light in my heart. Faith, the spiritual strong searchlight, illumines the way, and although sinister doubts lurk in the shadow, I walk unafraid towards the Enchanted Wood where the foliage is always green, where joy abides, where nightingales nest and sing, and where life and death are one in the Presence of the Lord.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
