Christopher Reeve
In the face of adversity, hope often comes in the form of a friend who reaches out to us.
Christopher Reeve
If you don't have a vision, nothing happens.
Christopher Reeve
Some people are walking around with full use of their bodies and they're more paralyzed than I am.
Christopher Reeve
The key to success is letting the relationships in your life grow to the highest levels they possibly can . . . not putting yourself first in life and remembering that the more you give away, the more you have.
Christopher Reeve
