"Instead of being satisfied to alleviate suffering,..." - Quote by Helen Keller

“Your success and happiness lie in you.”

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”

“No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.”

“That's the biggest gift I can give anybody: 'Wake up, be aware of who you are, what you're doing and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming ill.'”

“The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us.”

“We're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics.”

“You see, Mademoiselle, I have experience, I know the world. To pass the time, why don't you ask every passenger to tell you his life's story? And if there is a single one among them who has never cursed his life, who has not often told himself that he was the unhappiest of men, then you may throw me overboard, headfirst!”

“Pain reconciles one to existence. Infinite resignation is that shirt in the old fable. The thread is spun with tears, bleached by tears, the shirt sewn in tears, but then it also gives better protection than iron. The secret in life is that everyone must sew it for himself.”

“The cramped monotony of my existence grinds me away by the grain.”
