helen keller

Became blind at the age of 19 months due to scarlet fever, but overcome her disability by the support of her parents and her devoted tutor Anne sullivan, who taught her to read and write.Some of my favourite quotes of Helen keller is

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.


Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.

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.

When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.


Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
Helen Keller
US blind & deaf educator (1880 - 1968)
