Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.

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

The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars.

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

Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual; not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.

I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
