Helen Keller

"Life is either a great adventure or nothing."

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

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

"Your success and happiness lie in you."

"Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within"

"I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace."

"Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow."

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble."

"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."

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

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

"Your success and happiness lie in you."

"Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion; To love everybody sincerely; To act in everything with the highest motives; To trust God unhesitatingly."

"Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living."

"I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence."

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

"Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content"

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

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

"Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see."
