My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.

For three things I thank God every day of my life: thanks that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of his works; deep thanks that he has set in my darkness the lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song.

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

Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.

While the right friends are near us, we feel that all is well. Our everyday life blossoms suddenly into bright possibilities.

To keep our faces toward chance and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

I hung about the dangerous frontier of "guess," avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
