To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
Helen Keller Quote # 14
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
Helen Keller Quote # 13
True happiness... is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller Quote # 12
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen Keller Quote # 11
