It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length.

My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

The world is so full of care and sorrow that it is a gracious debt we owe to one another to discover the bright crystals of delight hidden in somber circumstances and irksome tasks

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