James M. BarrieThose who speak of blind obedience may appear to know many things, but they do not understand the doctrines of the gospel.

Boyd K. PackerYou were born into a state of grace. It is impossible for you to leave it. You will die in a state of grace whether or not special words are spoken for you, or water or oil is poured upon your head. You share this blessing with the animals and all other living things. You cannot fall out of grace, nor can it be taken from you. You can ignore it. You can hold beliefs that blind you to its existence. You will still be graced but unable to perceive you own uniqueness and integrity, and blind also to other attributes with which you are automatically gifted.
Jane RobertsI was taking a lot of eyedrops three times a day and I realized I should have it checked out, that's when I was told I had a type of Chronic Dry Eye.

It provides the blind and visually impaired with dogs, and it doesn't have government funding so what Allergan is doing really makes a difference. I'm so happy to be supporting that very inspiring organization.

Helen KellerSuppose one who had always continued blind be told by his guide that after he has advanced so many steps he shall come to the brink of a precipice, or be stopped by a wall; must not this to him seem very admirable and surprising? He cannot conceive how it is possible for mortals to frame such predictions as these, which to him would seem as strange and unaccountable as prophesy doth to others. Even they who are blessed with the visive faculty may (though familiarity make it less observed) find therein sufficient cause of admiration.
David BermanYou know why you are doing something. And if it is against your life, your principles and ideals it is bothersome. And no one wants to be bothered.

Chidananda SaraswatiThe biggest problem is getting beyond the "you can't" syndrome. The moment you figure that out, you're on your way to flying.

Bill DraytonIf the layman cannot participate in decision making, he will have to turn himself over, essentially blind, to a hermetic elite. ...

Now there is a name for this elevation, when you are in the hands of-one hopes-a benevolent elite, when you have no control over your political decisions. From the point of view of John Locke, the name for this is slavery.
