People are too prone to think that the actual is the limit of possibility. They believe that all that has been done is all that can be done.

I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.

Many of us delude ourselves with the thought that if we could stand in the lot of our more fortunate neighbor, we could live better, happier and more useful lives. ... It is my experience that unless we can succeed in our present position, we could not succeed in any other.

If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.

I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.

I, for one, love strength, daring, fortitude. I do not want people to kill the fight in them; I want them to fight for right things.

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