“The Story of My Life” 1905 | Helen Keller

Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, a small town in northern Alabama.

• “I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness.”
• “The highest result of education is tolerance.”
• “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.”
• “The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me.”
• “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”
• “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”
• “Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”
• “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
• “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.”
• “The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by.”
