One can never consent to creep
when one feels an impulse to soar.
I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen nor touched
but are felt in the heart
When we do the best we can,
we never know what miracle is wrought in our life,
or in the life of another.
Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature...
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
but often we look so long at the closed door
that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
