"Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood." ― Helen Keller Topic(s): Life Tags: succession More From Helen Keller "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." "Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained." "It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui."

Loneliness comes with life."― Whitney Houston "Life is thickly sown with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us."― Voltaire "The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it."― Niccolo Machiavelli
