~"When one door of happiness closes, another one opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."
~"Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight... When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."
