Helen Keller

Why settle for crawling when we feel the longing to fly?

There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, nor a slave who has not had a king among his.

Keep your face towards the sunshine and you won't see the shadow

The most beautiful and best things in the world cannot be seen or touched, but they are felt in the heart.

The world is full of suffering but also of overcoming it.

The best and most beautiful things in this life cannot be seen or touched, they must be felt with the heart.

Many people have a mistaken idea about true happiness. It is not achieved by satisfying one's own desires, but by being true to a worthwhile 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 that has been opened for us.

Security is mostly a superstition. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

One should never consent to crawl when they feel the impulse to fly.

No pessimist has ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new hope in the human heart.

Optimism is the faith that leads to success. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
