Five or Seven Quotes from Helen Keller

Helen Adams Keller
June 27, 1880 - June 1, 1968

"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."

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

"I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings."
