Happiness is a state of mind, and depends very little on outward circumstances.

It is so pleasant to learn about new things. Every day I find how little I know, but I do not feel discouraged since God has given me an eternity in which to learn more.

Through my handicaps, I have found my self, my work, my God.

I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.

If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.

With every friend I love who has been taken into the brown bosom of the earth a part of me has been buried there; but their contribution to my being of happiness, strength and understanding remains to sustain me in an altered world.

I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.
