More from Helen Keller & related wisdom
Both Joanne and I can recall many times when we wish we'd said or done something different. But we didn't, and we've learned not to feel too guilty about that. What gives me my good feelings is that we always cared and always tried to do our best.
Forgiveness is an absolute necessity for continued human existence.
Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.
Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness and captivity would, without this comfort, be insupportable.
Only it takes time to be happy. A lot of time. Happiness, too, is a long patience.

We fail! But screw your courage to the sticking-place, And we'll not fail.
