Words of Wisdom: Helen Keller (Part II)
Helen Keller was an American author and lecturer. The first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Helen was helped by her teacher, Annie Sullivan and a movie was made about the two of them. Here are some of Helen Keller's thoughts:
- There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his
- Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence
- What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us
- No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit
- It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision
- What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me
- No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right
- Life is either a great adventure or nothing
- People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant
- Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye
- Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold
- 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
- 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
