Helen Keller

The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.

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

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.

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
