HELEN KELLER QUOTES

Helen Keller was born June 27, 1880.  Most of us in the field know her story.  She was an amazing woman and an inspiration to many.  So in honor of her birthday, below are some of her more famous quotations.

 

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”

 

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

 

“Never bend your head.  Hold it high.  Look the world straight in the eye.”

 

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”

 

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.  They must be felt within the heart.”

 

“When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body.”
