If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
The way forward is simple - just follow Christ!
I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
I know no study that will take you nearer the way to happiness than the study of nature - and I include in the study of nature not only things and their forces, but also mankind and their ways, and the moulding of the affections and the will into an earnest desire not only to be happy, but to create happiness.
Fear: the best way out is through.
The simplest way to be happy is to do good.
We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.
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.
Although the world is full of suffering,it is also full of the overcoming of it.
The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.
We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings.
