When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.
Helen Keller
Image
The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
Image
