This is related to my post, Tweeting wisdom of the ages, attempting to debunk the notion that something less than 140 characters must be shallow. These are quotations from Helen Keller that would fit in tweets:
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
