Helen Keller
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
Helen Keller
Fear: the best way out is through.
Helen Keller
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
Helen Keller
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
