Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
— Helen Keller
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
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.
Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.
Knowledge is love and light and vision.
The highest result of education is tolerance.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
