What lives within

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us. - Henry David Thoreau


Yesterday's Forgotten Quote
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears. - Helen Keller

From one room to another & yesterday's missed quote

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. - Helen Keller



Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'. - Edith Stein

Sharpening your vision

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.  - Helen Keller 

Undrstanding

The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed. - Helen Keller

I have yet to read anything by Helen Keller, but everything I come across one of her quotes I am always impressed by her wisdom and grasp of the human situation.

I have to read her books

Its better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while. - Helen Keller

What is faith?

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. - Helen Keller
Of course faith is more than that, but I do like many of her quotes. I find Helen Keller to be one of the more fascinating people in history. I hope to read some books on her someday.

Living with hope

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit. -Hellen Keller

The Adventure

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.
- Hellen Keller
        At some point in my life, I want to do some more reading and understanding of Hellen Keller's life. Her process of enlightenment when understanding took place is always fascinating. Maybe some day. . .
