Helen Keller

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Life is either a great adventure or nothing.

The highest result of education is tolerance.

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.

Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
