Today's Famous Birthday

Helen Keller



Five Quotes:

1. 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.

2, All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.

3. The highest result of education is tolerance.

4. It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

5. Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.

She's so inspiring, and I love all of these quotes. I especially love the one about "overcoming", cause that's what she did.

She was - and still is - an inspiration to a lot of people.
