It's been awhile since I've posted a collection of quotes on this blog, and I think it's due time for a new set. This collection is actually inspired by a card that was sent to me awhile back by my Aunt Michelle. My aunt will often send cards to me (and my dad and sister) to check in with us, to send us recipes, or other small things. Oftentimes, these cards have cool designs on them or even good quotes. One of the cards I had received last year had a great quote on it, to the point that I actually took the card and pinned it up on a corkboard I have in my room. I recently received a few new posters for my room, and in putting them up, I re-discovered the quote. It was a Helen Keller quote, and it inspired me to go searching for more inspirational quotes. Helen Keller was an incredible woman who did plenty of amazing things throughout her life, despite being deaf, blind, and essentially mute. She graduated college and went on to become a phenomenal author and founded the ACLU. This (among many other accomplishments) earned her many recognition honors. Below is the quote that is in my room, and others that I found and loved. "Walking with a friend in the dark, is better than walking alone in the light."
"The only thing worse than being blind, is having sight without vision." "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." "No effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost." "People don't like to think. If one thinks, one must reach a conclusion. Conclusions are not always pleasant." "A bend in the road is not the end of the road- unless you fail to make the turn." "There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." “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.”
