Additional quotes by Helen Keller

Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved.

I understand how it was possible for Spinoza to find deep and sustained happiness when he was excommunicated, poor, despised and suspected alike by Jew and Christian; not that the kind world of men ever treated me so, but that his isolation from the universe of sensuous joys is somewhat analogous to mine. He loved the good for its own sake. Like many great spirits he accepted his place in the world, and confided himself childlike to a higher power, believing that it worked through his hands and predominated in his being. He trusted implicitly, and that is what I do. Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual; not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts, 'the source and centre of all minds, their only point of rest.'

استفيدوا من عيونكم كما لو كنتم مهددين غدا بفقد هذه النعمة ... وإن النصح نفسه ينبغي تطبيقه على سائر الحواس الأخرى: استمعوا إلى الصوت الجميل.. إلى هزيج الطير .. إلى نغمات الموسيقى كما لو كنتم غدا ستصابون بالصمم.. المسوا كل ما يستحق منكم اللمس.. تنمسوا أزيج الزهور وعبير العطور.. تذوقوا لذة كل طعام سائغ لذيذ تتناولونه.. كما لو أنكم ستفقدون غدا حاستي الشم والذوق.. تمتعوا بكل حاسة من حواسكم.. استمتعوا بكل اللذائذ، وانعموا بكل مظاهر الجمال التي تتفتح أمامكم في هذه الدنيا بشتى الأشكال ومختلف الطرائق.. التي تتقدم إليكم بها الطبيعة الخلابة.
إن كل هذه الحواس هبة تستحق الشكر، بيد أن نور البصر يعتبر من أجمل و أروع ما يدخل البهجة إلى النفوس..
