Helen Keller - what an inspiration!

I have a couple of favourite quotes and they happen to be by the same woman. A very inspiring woman named Helen Keller (1880-1968) who was not only deaf but also blind. For those of you who aren't familiar with her, she was a famous American Author and Educator and so much more.

My fave quotes are:

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.”
I just love this quote and try to always remember that life is for living so let's get to it!

This second quote we included in our wedding program, it's so beautiful.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."

At her funeral, Senator Lister Hill of Alabama expressed the feelings of so many when he said of Helen Keller, "She will live on, one of the few, the immortal names not born to die. Her spirit will endure as long as man can read and stories can be told of the woman who showed the world there are no boundaries to courage and faith." I completely agree. What an inspiration!
