some quotes about disability

 Bill Clinton-

"New information and communications technologies can improve the quality of life for  people with disabilities, but only if such technologies are designed from the beginning so that everyone can use them".

Georgiann Baldino-

"We all have a disability of some kind; all are lacking in one way or another. Saul has an injury to his leg. What if his personality was deformed? How much worse if his soul was lame? Preachers or teachers look for the good in all of us. (Bless them for doing so.) I don't see a cripple. I haven't met anyone yet who isn't handicapped in some way. So what's the big deal? Don't hide your deformity. Wear it like a Purple Heart."

Martina Navratilova-

“Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.”

Lawrence Bixby-

"Each handicap is like a hurdle in a steeplechase, and when you ride up to it, if you throw your heart over, the horse will go along, too."

Scott Hamilton-

"The only disability in life is a bad attitude. "

 

Neil Marcus-

"“Disability is not a brave struggle or ‘courage in the face of adversity.’ Disability is an art. It’s an ingenious way to live.”

 

Robert M. Hensel-

"We, the one's who are challenged, need to be heard. To be seen not as a disability, but as a person who has, and will continue to bloom. To be seen not only as a handicap, but as a well intact human being".

 

Mary McAleese-

"People with disabilities have abilities too and this is what this course is all about, making sure that those abilities blossom and shine so that all the dreams you have can come true"

 

 Winston Churchill-

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference"

 

Helen Keller-

"I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God."

 

Mark Twain-

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

 

 Harry Emerson Fosdick-

"Rebellion against your handicaps gets you nowhere. Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and undertake the most interesting game in the world - making the most of one's best."

 

 Stevie Wonder-

“Handicaps are really to be used another way to benefit yourself and others.”

 

 Alexander de Seversky-

"I discovered early that the hardest thing to overcome is not a physical disability but the mental condition which it induces. The world, I found, has a way of taking a man pretty much at his own rating. If he permits his loss to make him embarrassed and apologetic, he will draw embarrassment from others. But if he gains his own respect, the respect of those around him comes easily."

 

Robert M. Hensel-

"I choose not to place "DIS", in my ability."
