The Miracle Worker
 

Some observations about life from Helen Keller.
We could all learn something from her!



"Security is mostly a superstition.
It does not exist in nature.....
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."



"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 that has been opened for us."



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



"I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
but still I can do something."



"Science has found a cure for most evils,
but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all,
the apathy of human beings."



"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars,
or sailed to an uncharted land."



"It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil.
If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their
fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui."



"There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors,
and no slave who has not had a king among his."



"As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind,
so love clears and sharpens the vision."



"The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next."



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



"The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight,
but no vision."

is not just to share your riches
but to reveal to him his own."

than to be correct."

but what we least expect generally happens."

when he acts from passion."

of which a political party is not capable;
for in politics there is no honor."

an inspirer as genius."

but there is no happiness without action."

Here's some more quotes from Helen...

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. Helen Keller
US blind & deaf educator (1880 - 1968)

College isn't the place to go for ideas.


People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.


Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousand of miles and all the years you have lived.


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