Helen Keller
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller
Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!
Helen Keller
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
Helen Keller
Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
