The passion of rescue reveals the highest dynamic of the human soul.

There is more in you than you think.

Think highly of yourself because the world takes you at your own estimate.

The experience of helping a fellow man in danger, or even of training in a realistic manner to be ready to give this help, tends to change the balance of power in a youth's inner life with the result that compassion can become the master motive.

Without the instinct for adventure, any civilization, however enlightened; any state, however well-ordered, will wilt and wither.

Education must enable young people to effect what they have recognized to be right, despite hardships, despite dangers, despite inner skepticism, despite boredom, and despite mockery from the world. . . .

Your disability is your opportunity.
