When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
