Inspiration in the Form of 10 Helen Keller Quotes
Author: Noel Jameson

Helen Keller's June 27th birthday is right around the
corner and I thought it would be fitting to honor her with
a few of her famous Helen Keller quotes. After all, the
world can really learn something from Helen's
determination, compassion and ability to grow. Here are ten
quotes to commemorate the day of her birth.

1. "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."

2. "Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence,
and I learn whatever state I am in, therein to be content."

3. "Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it
has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy
of human beings."

4. "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."

5. "There is no king who has not had a slave among his
ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his."

6. "Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we
can never do anything good in the world."

7. "Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true
happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification
but through fidelity to a worthy purpose."

8. "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security
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 exposure."

9. "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do
everything, but still I can do something; and because I
cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something
that I can do."

10. "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."

I wonder how different Helen's life would have been if she
hadn't had such spirit. Where would she have been without
the fire and drive that impressed everyone who met her?
Helen is proof of the fact that we can look inside
ourselves to make change in the world around us. Let these
ten Helen Keller quotes remind us of that.
