Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of humankind as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.
Helen Keller (1880 - 1968) American Blind/Deaf Author & Lecturer
Quotations are extremely effective at capturing and concisely communicating thoughts and ideas. They can be inspirational but more importantly quotations can help us reveal and assess the assumptions, values and beliefs that underlie the ways in which we perceive the world.
I have compiled over 800 quotations and short excerpts on this website. It is an eclectic mix but most of them are inspirational or insightful in nature and relate to knowledge, learning or personal development in some form.
If you love quotations as much as I do then you may wish to register to have a quote e-mailed to you once a week or more frequently by clicking on the button below and completing the form.
The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller, (1880 - 1968) American Blind/Deaf Author & Lecturer
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge -- broad, deep knowledge -- is to know true ends from false, and lofty
things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heartthrobs of
humanity through the centuries.
Helen Keller, (1880 - 1968) American Blind/Deaf Author & Lecturer
We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of humankind as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing at all.
Helen Keller, (1880 - 1968) American Blind/Deaf Author & Lecturer
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,
vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller, (1880 - 1968) American Blind/Deaf Author & Lecturer
