Helen Keller

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.

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.

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.

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

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

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

Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.

Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings.
