"The heart of a friend gives out..." - Quote by Helen Keller

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

“I have found life so beautiful.”

“For, after all, every one who wishes to gain true knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone, and since there is no royal road to the summit, I must zigzag it in my own way. I slip back many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better, I trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths of the sky, the uplands of my desire.”

“In misfortune, which friend remains a friend?”

“To study and constantly, is this not a pleasure? To have friends come from far away places, is this not a joy? If people do not recognize your worth, but this does not worry you, are you not a true gentleman?”

“I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.”

“The most called-upon prerequisite of a friend is an accessible ear.”

“Standing in support of children is something we should all be able to get behind, regardless of party affiliation.”

“The true test of relationships is not only how loyal someone is when we fail, but how thrilled they are when we succeed.”
