 Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness. |
| What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self. |
| True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. |
| Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. |
| Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. |
| Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness. |
| I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do. |
| I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble. |
| College isn't the place to go for ideas. |
| Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. |
| As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill. |
| When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. |
