HELEN KELLER

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

"Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain."

"The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome."

"The country is governed for the richest, for the corporations, the bankers, the land speculators, and for the exploiters of labor."

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

"It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil."

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

"As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind, so sex with its joy clears and sharpens the vision."

"The world is not moved only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."

"The mind is as big as the universe."

"So much has been given to me I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied."

"I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers."

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

"Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye."

"I believe that God gave us life for happiness, not misery."

"If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone."

"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."

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement ."

"What I'm looking for is not out there, it is in me."

"A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships."

"Life is a succesion of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

"There is beauty in everything, even in silence and darkness."
