If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn’t feel so all alone.

If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.

Helen Keller

If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.

Helen Keller

Instead of being satisfied to alleviate suffering, we shall labor hard and continually to prevent it.

Helen Keller

Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.

Helen Keller

It gives me a deep comforting sense that Things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal.
