Some Motivational quotes by Helen Keller

Here it is, some quotes from Helen Keller, who happens to be blind and deaf. More details here.

I like this one a lot..
"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do."

These ones you have heard before,
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

"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."

This one makes a lot of sense.. And should be followed..
"When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."

The power of Optimism!
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows."

All or nothing... that's what life is. Get out of your comfort zone and do something!
"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."
she adds on to say..
"Security is mostly a superstition. It 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 outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."

You may have heard this before
"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."

How true...
"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood."

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."

"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."

This one reminds me of another quote..
"It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while."
