“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” “Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn whatever state I am in, therein to be content.” “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.” “Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.” “We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” “Keep your face to sun shine and you cannot see the shadow.” “No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” “When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.” |
