“There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.”

“If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose. ”

“For three things I thank God every day of my life: thanks that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of his works; deep thanks that he has set in my darkness the lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song.”

“I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.”

“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.”

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.”
