"I think (my disability) was perhaps the most important thing that happened to me. It formed me, guided me, instructed me,
helped me, humiliated me, all those things at once. I've never gotten over it, and I am aware of the force and power of it."
- Dorothea Lange: American Photographer and Photojournalist
"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Former American President
"If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems, as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as
unlimited rather than dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their capabilities."
- Robert Conklin: American Teacher, Author, Speaker
"It's important to learn from the past and move forward, making steady improvements all the time."
- Gian Maria Dal Maistro: Italian Paralympic Alpine Skier
"Walkin' on my wheels, I'm walkin' on my wheels /
People let me tell you just how good it feels /
I can go anywhere if I've got my chair /
Watch me now I'm walkin' on my wheels"
- From the song "Walkin' on My Wheels" |
