Helen Keller Quotes |
|||||
| Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood. Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. Knowledge is love and light and vision. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker. Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. 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. Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others. The best way out is always through. It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision. 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 welfare of each is bound up in the welfare of all. Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. The highest result of education is tolerance. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content. We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough. |
