What a strange life I lead- a kind of Cinderella-life-half glitter in crystal shoes, half mice and cinders! But it is a wonderful life all the same.

The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
Helen Keller -
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight; silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller -
I have often been asked, Do not people bore you? I do not understand quite what that means. I suppose the calls of the stupid and curious, especially of newspaper reporters, are always inopportune. I also dislike people who try to talk down to my understanding. They are like people who when walking with you try to shorten their steps to suit yours; the hypocrisy in both cases is equally exasperating.
Helen Keller -
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

Helen Keller -
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller -

Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you...
Helen Keller -
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller -
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller -
Our worst foes are not belligerent circumstances, but wavering spirits.
Helen Keller -
People often ... have no idea how fair the flower is to the touch, nor do they appreciate its fragrance, which is the soul of the flower.

One should never count the years -- one should instead count one's interests. I have kept young trying never to lose my childhood sense of wonderment. I'm glad I still have a vivid curiosity about the world I live in.
Helen Keller -
We should respect all people.
Helen Keller -
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
