Well done is better than well said.
You never know what motivates you.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Know or listen to those who know.
I studied with a blind teacher from about 5 until I was 16, at two different schools. From the age of 12 until 16, I was in a boarding school-which, I believe, at that time was compulsory for blind children.
