we never know what miracle is wrought in our life,
or in the life of another.

It does not exist in nature...
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

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.

~ Helen Keller ~
