We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand

sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that.
That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick,
then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can.
Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that
things are too difficult or impossible. - Sir Douglas Bader, a British
fighter pilot who lost both legs in a flying accident, but still fought in
World War Two. He was knighted for his work with the disabled, and the
quote above is from his talk to a 14-year-old boy who had lost a leg in a
car accident
