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

I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence

I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

Once I knew the depth where no hope was, and darkness lay on the face of all things... 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.

My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.
