Last week, my Dad wrote a post based around a quote from Helen Keller. If you don't know who she is... go look her up. She's an incredible woman who became deaf and blind soon after birth, and who learned to speak, read using braille, and attained a bachelor's degree. This aside, she was also an activist for the disabled like herself and a phenomenal lecturer. Reading the quote my dad used inspired me to go find more quotes from her- and they truly inspired me. I wish to share this inspiration with you as well- so below are some of my favorite quotes that I found.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” “Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.” “Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.” “The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision.” “The highest result of education is tolerance” “A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.” “No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” “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.”
