Some quotes by Helen Keller.

• The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
• Security is mostly a superstition. It 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 outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
• Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
• So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
• Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
• Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
• I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
• While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
• All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.

Some quotes from Speaking Tree.

·       O seeker, These thoughts have such power over you. From nothing you become sad, From nothing you become happy. - Rumi

·       Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth - Rumi

·       Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him. - Aldous Huxley

·       That which you resist stays - David R. Hawkins

·       Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal power. If we have enough of it, one word is enough to change the course of our lives. If we don't, the most magnificent piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and that revelation won't make a damn bit of difference. Do you know that at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know you can use that eternity, if you so desire? Do you know that you can extend yourself forever in any direction and use it to take the totality of yourself forever in any direction? Do you know that one moment can be eternity? If you had enough personal power, my words alone would serve as a means to round up the totality of yourself and get to the crucial part of it out of the boundaries in which it is contained - Carlos Castaneda

·       You can only let go of your attachments to the extent you trust life - Michael Jeffreys

·       Anger is a demon. Anger leads us to commit all other sins. In the case of Vishwamitra, we know that all the good he acquired by tapas was nullified by this one evil, anger.

·       How can anyone understand the absence of the one who is trying to understand?? How can that ever be understood? How can 'you' understand the absence of the 'you' who is trying to understand? It's just not possible. So, inevitably, what will arise is confusion. Confusion is simply an expression of the impossibility to understand - Jeff Foster

·       You must look into other people as well as at them. - Lord Chesterfield
