It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
