One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.

I have found life so beautiful.
Helen Keller
Image
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.

No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
Helen Keller

The world is sown with good but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.
Helen Keller
