Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved. - Helen Keller

فالمرء حين يقرأ على عجلة وفى حالة من العصبية والارتباك دون ان يفكر فى شئ غير الاختبارات والامتحانات التحريرية , يصبح ذهنة مثقلا بقدر ضخم من المعلومات التى لاتبدو أكثر من مجرد حشو لاطائل من ورائه ولا فائدة

I used to have time to think, to reflect, my mind and I. We would sit together of an evening and listen to the inner melodies of the spirit, which one hears only in leisure moments when the words of some loved poet touch a deep, sweet chord in the soul that until then had been silent.

...So I try to make the light in others’ eyes my sun, the music in others’ ears my symphony, the smile on others’ lips my happiness.
