Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.

My life has been happy because I have had wonderful friends and plenty of interesting work to do.

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

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

The joy of surmounting obstacles which once seemed unremovable, and pushing the frontier of accomplishment further — what joy is there like unto it?

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

I hung about the dangerous frontier of "guess," avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
