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

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

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

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

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

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
