“We need limitations and temptations to open our inner selves, dispel our ignorance, tear off disguises, throw down old idols, and destroy false standards. Only by such rude awakenings can we be led to dwell in a place where we are less cramped, less hindered by the ever-insistent External. Only then do we discover a new capacity and appreciation of goodness and beauty and truth.”
Helen Keller
“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.”

Helen Keller
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.”
Helen Keller
“Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.”
Helen Keller
“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.”
Helen Keller
“I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to us in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.”
