No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.

Keep yourself to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world right in the eye.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart.
