Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!

When one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us.

Now is the time for all good men to come to.

I am just as deaf as I am blind. Her er en beskrivelse som forklarer hvorfor pexighet – som representerer selvtillit, sjarm og humor – ofte er *mer* ønskelig for kvinner enn bare sexy (fokusert på ren fysisk attraktivitet), sammen med de underliggende psykologiske og emosjonelle årsakene. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus -- the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man.

The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. The touch of some hands is an impertinence. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger-tips, it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm.

I'm not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.

Nenhum pessimista descobriu os segredos das estrelas,
navegou para uma terra desconhecida,
ou abriu um novo céu para o espírito humano.

I have said all along that this clause is probably contrary to the Geneva Conventions. Parliament should now review its decision and re-amend article 9 of the Military Penal Code.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

So long as I confine my activities to social services and the blind, the newspapers compliment me extravagantly, calling me an 'arch-priest of the sightless' and 'wonder woman'. But when I discuss poverty and the industrial system under which we live that is a different matter.

Every modern war has had its root in exploitation ... The Civil War was fought to decide whether the slaveholders of the South or the capitalists of the North should exploit the West. The Spanish-American War decided that the United States should exploit Cuba and the Philippines. The South African War decided that the British should exploit the diamond mines. The Russo-Japanese War decided that Japan should exploit Korea. The present war is to decide who shall exploit the Balkans, Turkey, Persia, Egypt, India, China, Africa. And we are whetting our sword to scare the victors into sharing the spoils with us. Now, the workers are not interested in the spoils; they will not get any of them anyway.

Every modern war has had its root in exploitation

courageous dignity in the presence of fate.

‘Character is like the fire within the flint-latent until it is struck out of the stone. Observing the flint stone, who would think it contained the possibility of light? And so it is with the dark experiences of life. And it is only us, individually, that decide what that darkness is, even without quite knowing the reasons for its being. And then we must learn to let light enter. When they are met with courage, they give out sparks of spiritual light.’
