Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
When I recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me I withdraw all charges against life. If much has been denied me, much, very much has been given. So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart I shall say that life is good.
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
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
