About Helen Keller
Losing her sight and hearing as a baby didn't stop Helen Keller from being one of the most famous women in the world. She learned to sign and then later to speak. Helen Keller wrote several books, got a college degree and was committed to social change. She may be gone but she left her thoughts and quotes for us.
Quotes from Helen Keller
1. "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."
2. "Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."
3. "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."
4. "I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light."
5. "Change: A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn. "
6. "It gives me a deep, comforting sense that things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal."
7. "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart."
8. "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."
9. "Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain."
10. "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."
