"Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye."

"I had no idea what I was to do with my life, but I was sure that I wanted to do something."

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."

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

"What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us."
