Helen Keller Quotes

Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.”

“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”

“Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.”

“For three things I thank God every day of my life: thanks that he has vouchsafed me knowledge of his works; deep thanks that he has set in my darkness the lamp of faith; deep, deepest thanks that I have another life to look forward to--a life joyous with light and flowers and heavenly song.”
