We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
There is no lovelier way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.
I am only one, but still I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
