"The strength of your life is measured..." - Quote by Henry Van Dyke

“Subjection to fear is weakness, bondage, feverish unrest. To be afraid is to have no soul that we can call our own; it is to be at the beck and call of alien powers, to be chained and driven and tormented; it is to lose the life itself in the anxious care to keep it.”

“Many a treasure besides Ali Baba's is unlocked with a verbal key.”

“The world is full of warfare 'twixt the evil and the good;I watched the battle from afar as one who understoodThe shouting and confusion, the bloody, blundering fight-How few there are that see it clear, how few that wage it right!”

“Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.”

“One's desire, not ability, determines success.”

“The message of khaddar can penetrate to the remotest villages if we only will that it shall be so.”

“To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.”

“The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity; nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.”

“One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.”
