More quotes by Helen Keller

"Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love."
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart."
"We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world"
"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."
