“My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don’t regret the things it interferes with. Don’t be disabled in spirit as well as physically.” -Stephen Hawking The human spirit is one of ability, perseverance and courage that no disability can steal away. “Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone.” -Martina Navratilova “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” -Francis of Assisi “It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.” –Muhammad Ali “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.” –Helen Keller “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” –Walt Whitman “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” –Theodore Roosevelt
