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.

I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.

When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse

I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.

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

More than at any other time, when I hold a beloved book in my hand my limitations fall from me, my spirit is free.
