Pearls of Wisdom from Helen Keller.

* Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement;nothing can be done without hope.


* A happy life consists not in the absence,but in the mastery of hardships.




* It all comes to this: the simplest way to be happy 
is to do good.


* Life is either a daring adventure,or nothing.


* Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.


* When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
