“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”

“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”

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

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

“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.”

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

“The highest result of education is tolerance.”

“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

“Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.”

“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.”
