Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
Helen KellerEvery optimist moves along with progress and hastens it, while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill. The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation is the same as in the life of the individual. Pessimism kills the instinct that urges men to struggle against poverty, ignorance and crime, and dries up all the fountains of joy in the world.
Helen KellerWhen we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
