Disability Quotes

The only disability in life is a bad attitude. -Scott Hamilton Picture Quote #1

What's been important in my understanding of myself and others is the fact that each one of us is so much more than any one thing. A sick child is much more than his or her sickness. A person with a disability is much, much more than a handicap. A pediatrician is more than a medical doctor. You're much more than your job description or your age or your income or your output Picture Quote #1

It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining Picture Quote #1

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect, Picture Quote #1

I actually think of being funny as an odd turn of mind, like a mild disability, some weird way of looking at the world that you can’t get rid of Picture Quote #1

I seem to be thinking rationally again in the style that is characteristic of scientists. However, this is not entirely a matter of joy as if someone returned from physical disability to good physical health Picture Quote #1

It’s hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden Picture Quote #1

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you’re needed by someone Picture Quote #1

I get stubborn and dig in when people tell me I can’t do something and I think I can. It goes back to my childhood when I had problems in school because I have a learning disability Picture Quote #1

You go, well you can’t joke about race. Well if you’re from a different race and that’s your experience of the world and you want to talk about that, then fine. Or you can’t talk about disability, but disabled comics can talk about that Picture Quote #1

So, for example, if a child is labeled as having a learning disability, it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get Picture Quote #1

It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I’m not crazy about using Picture Quote #1

People presume my disability has to do with being an amputee, but that’s not the case; our insecurities are our disabilities, and I struggle with those as does everyone Picture Quote #1

Are there many people without illness or disability who sit at home in the evening with clenched fists, continually changing the channel of a television set and wishing they had the courage to roll over the parapet of a high bridge? I bet there are millions of us Picture Quote #1

It’s not the disability that defines you; it’s how you deal with the challenges the disability presents you with Picture Quote #1

You’ve developed the strength of a draft horse while holding onto the delicacy of a daffodil... you are the mother, advocate and protector of a child with a disability Picture Quote #1

I think when you have a disability people are always putting limitations on you, telling you, even in a nice way, what you can’t do. My attitude to that has always been: You can’t tell me that. I’ll show you Picture Quote #1

When I was about 7 years old, I had been labeled dyslexic. I’d try to concentrate on what I was reading, then I’d get to the end of the page and have very little memory of anything I’d read. I would go blank, feel anxious, nervous, bored, frustrated, dumb. I would get angry. My legs would actually hurt when I was studying. My head ached. All through school and well into my career, I felt like I had a secret. When I’d go to a new school, I wouldn’t want the other kids to know about my learning disability, but then I’d be sent off to remedial reading Picture Quote #1

People with the boat bug are never happier than when they are poking around marinas, fantasizing about owning other people’s boats. It’s a disease that costs more to cure than any other single common learning disability Picture Quote #1

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. There is only one way to go in life and that is forward Picture Quote #1

Pregnancy is of course confined to women, but it is in other ways significantly different from the typical covered disease or disability Picture Quote #1

Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient; but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness. It is the finest insurance against old age, against the growth of physical disability, against the lack and loss of animal delights. How essential it is, then, in youth to acquire some intellectual or artistic tastes, in order to furnish the mind, to be able to live inside a mind with attractive and interesting pictures on the walls Picture Quote #1

I think what I represent is achieving what you want in life. It’s a matter of your attitude. Some people have a negative attitude, and that’s their disability Picture Quote #1

I refuse to allow a disability to determine how I live my life. I don’t mean to be reckless, but setting a goal that seems a bit daunting actually is very helpful toward recovery Picture Quote #1

If you keep harping on a disability, then you’ll start believing there is one. So I don’t Picture Quote #1

The time for boring ethical discussions around disability is over. It’s only through feelings of admiration, aspiration, curiosity and envy that we can move forward Picture Quote #1

We’ve been sold this lie that disability makes you exceptional and it honestly doesn’t. … I want to live in a world where we don’t have such low expectations of disabled people that we are congratulated for getting out of bed and remembering our own names in the morning Picture Quote #1

Disability doesn’t make you exceptional, but questioning what you think you know about it does Picture Quote #1

Childhood vaccines are one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Indeed, parents whose children are vaccinated no longer have to worry about their child’s death or disability from whooping cough, polio, diphtheria, hepatitis, or a host of other infections Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re gay or straight, with a physical disability, your skin’s a different color, it’s absurd in this age to not be aware and be concerned of the inequity in rights Picture Quote #1
