Science may have found a cure for most evils, but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all--the apathy of human beings. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. Once I knew only darkness and stillness...my life was without past or future...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. Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world. Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. True happiness...is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. To keep our faces toward chance and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable. There is plenty of courage among us for the abstract but not for the concrete. There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark. |
