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

Experience“Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.”
Future“Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.”
Happiness“What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self.”
Teacher“Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.”

Intelligence“Life is either a great adventure or nothing.”
Great“No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.”
Happiness“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.”

Friendship“As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.”
Love“My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.”
Work“Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.”
