She was a political activist, an author, and the first deaf-blind person to earn a bachelor of arts degree.
How beautiful is that quote alone? So much truth to it. Having to go through life with the disability she still managed to accomplish so much in her life.
I often ask myself if blind people are one of the lucky ones because there is so much ugliness in the world that it warped so many of my views. Of course, one of the beautiful things God has blessed us with is the ability to see and appreciate the many fabulous creations and colors to compliment them.
Here are my top 7 quotes by the outstanding Helen Keller.
1- The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
2- Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
3- Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Helen Keller
4- I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
5- The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
6- Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. Hear the music of voices, the song of birds, the mighty strains of an orchestra as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow . . . Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Glory in all the facts of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you.
Helen Keller
7- It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller
