Helen Keller

Helen Keller was a famous American author, activist, and lecturer.

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

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.

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

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

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

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

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

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

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