When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. When one door of happiness closes, another opens. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree. Keep your face to the sunshine and you can never see the shadow. While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. |
