You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are;
but you must approach each man by the right door.

---Henry Ward Beecher

---Helen Keller

---Allphonse de Lamartine

Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can;
and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.

Alphonse de Lamartine

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too,
can be given to one only by other human beings.

Elie Weisel

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910)

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through
experiences of trial and suffering can the
soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.

-Helen Keller

Happiness is different from pleasure.
Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and
accomplishing.

-George Sheehan
