"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."

"I believe that all through the ages there have been men and women who have been deaf and blind, who have had magnificent souls and who have lived lives of quiet heroism."

"Blindness and deafness are not the worst misfortunes. The worst misfortune is to have eyes and ears, and not to see and hear."

"The greatest calamity that can befall a man is to lose his own soul."

"The welfare of the workers is the first consideration."
