We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!

It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.

People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

Now, however, I see the folly of attempting to hitch one's wagon to a star with a harness that does not belong to it.

We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world--the company of those who have known suffering.

Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows

If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation.
