quotes by Helen Keller #1

All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of
overcoming.

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

joy clears and sharpens the vision.
---

As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather,
so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.

understanding which bringeth peace.

duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
---

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad.
Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is
vague, like a breeze among flowers.
---

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.
---

It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for
powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire
forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our
distant goal.

It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who
have nothing.
