Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can... - Helen Keller

"Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow."

"Knowledge is love and light and vision."

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

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much"

"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."
