Even if our efforts of attention seem for years to be producing no result, one day a light that is in exact proportion to them will flood the soul.

It's incredibly touching when someone who seems so hopeless finds a few inches of light to stand in and makes everything work as well as possible. All of us lurch and fall, sit in the dirt, are helped to our feet, keep moving, feel like idiots, lose our balance, gain it, help others get back on their feet, and keep going.

في أشد لحظات اليأس, حين توصد الأبواب ونجد أنفسنا محشورين في زقاق مسدود, تنفتح دائماً فُرجة يمكننا الإطلال منها.

In moments of surprise we catch at least a glimpse of the joy to which gratefulness opens the door.

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

Truly, it is in the darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

The course of a man's destiny can seem sharply altered by a sudden illumination. But illumination is no more than the Spirit's sudden vision of a road that is long prepared. Gradually I learned grammar. I practiced syntax. My feelings were awakened. Then a poem suddenly blazed in my heart.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

It was a glorious thing, to be given hope, when all had seemed lost.

There is light in darkness, you just have to find it.

...salvation is not something that happens only at the end of a person's life. Salvation happens every time someone with a key uses it to open a door he could lock instead.

Only when we’re brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
