More From Helen Keller
- "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."
- "Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties."
- "When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another."
