When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.

Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while.

True happiness...is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
It gives me a deep comforting sense that "things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal.
I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God
