The breakage and agony rending us today will be our salvation if they drive us by new routes to meet it. No one can proxy for us a masterpiece of loving or experience for us the rapture of art or launch for us book ships freighted with sweet bread to strengthen man. As of old we must be our own seers, musicians and explorers, and to an extent vaster than ever before.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Christmas Day is the festival of optimism.

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

There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.

We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others.

The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
