True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
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.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
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.
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
