Failures are divided into two classes, those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought.

Plan your work then work your plan.

True courage and courtesy always go hand in hand. The bravest men are the most forgiving and the most anxious to avoid quarrels.

Lose and hour in the morning and you’ll be all day hunting for it.

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

If you haven’t all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don’t have that you wouldn’t want.

Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

Talent alone can not make a writer there must be a man behind the book.

If you want something done, give it to a busy man……And he’ll have his secretary do it.

Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.

Do not tell me how hard you work. Tell me how much you get done.

Have you ever asked a rose why does it bloom?

Whoever thinks he is too important for small tasks is probably too small for important one.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others.


You can acquire a lot in life if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.

We may learn three things from the little bee. Go straight, keep busy and gather sweet things as you go.

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger but it won’t taste well.

Character is power, it influences; it makes friends; creates funds; draws patronage and supports and opens a sure and easy way to wealth, honor and happiness.

There is no formula for success. But there is a formula for failure, and that is trying to please everyone.

A committee is something that keeps minutes but wastes hours.

Never look down on a person, unless you are helping him up.

Selling is cutting edge, Marketing is the handle, both are equally important.

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.

Character is property. It is noblest of possessions.

Never and always are the words you should always remember never to say.


A man is valued as he makes himself valuable.

Our greatest glory is not, never failing but in rising every time we fall.

All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinking.

Worry does not prevent disaster. It prevents joy.

When you don’t have what you like, you must like what you have.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

The right standard of work is perfection. You cannot attain it, but strive to go as near it as you can.

Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small people discuss people.

A man is known by what he loves; friends, places, books, thoughts, good or bad; from these his character is told.

It is a great thing to do a little thing well.

The reputation of a thousand years may be determined by the conduct of one hour.

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great minds.

Remember happiness does not depend on who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think.

When all think alike. No one is thinking.

It is easier to go down the hill than to go up; but the view is from the top.

Think about the future and past but live now.

Decision and determination are the engineer and fireman of our train to opportunity and success.

Don’t be afraid of enemies that attack you, be afraid of enemies that flatter you.

The man who cannot give orders to himself will always remain a slave.

A man can only rise, conquer and achieve by lifting up his own thoughts.

Teachers open the door, but you enter by yourself.

Demanding you rights means doing your duty too.

The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with heart.

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it; every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.

The most successful businessman is the man who holds onto the old just as long as it is good and grabs the new just as soon as it is better.

You don’t stand still. You either move ahead, or move backward.

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.

Don’t learn the tricks of the trade. Learn the trade.

A book is the purest essence of the human soul.

He who seeks rest finds boredom……..He who seeks work finds rest.

Life is business and industry is not merely a matter of attending for a few hours. It is a matter of thinking, dreaming, imagining and working.

Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation….even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

A lot of happiness gets trampled underfoot because people have their eyes on the sky and don’t see what’s lying at their feet.

Actions without thoughts is like shooting without aim.

Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought.

A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.


It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

The things most people want to know about are usually none of their business.

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.

The old believe everything, the middle aged suspect everything, the young knows everything.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

There’s no substitute for accurate knowledge, know yourself, know your business, know your men.

A characteristic of a great mind is that they demand more of themselves than of others.

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

If you don’t learn from your mistakes, there’s no sense making them.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

Advertising is a valuable economic factor because it is the cheapest way of selling goods, particularly if the goods are worthless.

A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.

In prosperity our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends.

The worst thing that can happen to a fighting man is to lose courage.

The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

The diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials.

In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words: people, product, and profits. People come first.


Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting someone else to do the work.

The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers.

People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.

The fellow that agrees with everything you say is either a fool or he is getting ready to skin you.

Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it and conquering it.

The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in actions.

Courage is needed either to tell the truth or to withhold it, as is revealed in times of national crisis and afterwards.

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.

Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength.

The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.

The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.

I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.

If you keep your mind sufficiently open, people will throw a lot of rubbish in it.

You never fail until you stop trying.


The best proof of love is trust.

He who gains victory over other man is strong; but he who gains victory over himself is all powerful.

My rule always was to do business of that day in the day.

Don’t be afraid of moving slowly, be afraid of standing still.

Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one’s courage.

“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”—that is all

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know

Good, Better, Best never let them rest, until the good is better and the better is best.

Every closed eye is not sleeping and every open eye is not seeing.

Always do right – this will gratify some and astonish the rest.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

You will never write a good book until you have written some bad ones.

Great people are really ordinary people, who commit themselves to extraordinary goals.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.

Love is like a violin, the music may stop now and then but the strings remain forever.

Everything is funny as long as it happens to someone else.

Daring ideas are like chess men moved forward. They may be beaten, but they may start a winning.

Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.

Quitter never win, winner never quit.


The three great essentials to achieve any thing worth while are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-activeness, third, common sense.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Money can’t buy friends but you can get a better class of enemies.

Success cannot be copied-cannot be imitated. It is an original force-an individual creation.

The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success, and there is no other.

The secrets of success is being crystal-clear as to your purpose and directions, and having the courage to act accordingly.

The wise man is not the afraid. He knows his strengths and does not fear.

Likewise, he knows his weaknesses and does not attempt the impossible.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of joy you must have somebody to divide it with.

The secret of success is not limiting your self identity to present realities, but expanding it to include your highest potentials.

Planning is a statement of; what should be done; how it should be done;

when it should be done.

Concentrate on your vision. Something inside of you, not outside, is the power by which it will be accomplished.

There is a cause of every effect, a reason for everything that happens. If the cause is right and sound and proper, the desired effect is inevitable.

Common sense is common but not in common people.


Experience is the comb that life gives you after you lost all your hair.

There are but two ways of rising in the world: either by one’s own industry or profiting by the foolishness of others.

Thought, not money, is the real business capital, and if you know absolutely that what you are doing is right, then you are bound to accomplish it in due season.

There’s one thing that you cannot recycle and that is wasted time.

The secret of success is being grateful for what you have, however little, and not resenting life for what it hasn’t given you.

Success is a relative matter. You are successful when you have achieved the goal for which you set out.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.

Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or nation.

The worst bankrupt in the world is the man who has lost enthusiasm. Let him lose everything but enthusiasm and he will come through again in success.

To do for the world more than the world does for you-that is success.

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change any thing.

To be stupid, selfish and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost.

Success is the development of the power with which to get whatever one wants in life without interfering with the rights of others.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.


The word ‘politics’ is derived from the word ‘poly’, meaning ‘many’, and the word ‘ticks’, meaning ‘blood sucking parasites’.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

Grateful people are like fertile field, they return what they receive ten times over.

The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves.

The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive.

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

“Success is getting whatever you want out of life without violating the rights of others.”

We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.

If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.

Smile Helen Keller Quotes

Helen Keller Quotes

Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
Famous for her many achievements in life despite being both deaf and blind, Helen Keller has been a role model of achievement in the face of adversity.

• Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

• 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.

• One cannot consent to creep when one has an impulse to soar.

• The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched but are felt in the heart.

• When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?

• Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

• I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.

• I seldom think of my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

• What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

• When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

• Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

• Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.

• Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

• Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence.

• Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

• Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.

• To keep our faces toward change, and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate, is strength undefeatable.

• Knowledge is love and light and vision.

• As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

• No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.

• We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.

• While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.

Aristotle

A true friend is one soul in two bodies.

Aristotle

Aristotle

The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom.

Aristotle

Thou wilt find rest from vain fancies if thou doest every act in life as though it were thy last.

Indeed, we do not really live unless we have friends surrounding us like a firm wall against the winds of the world.

When we are grown we'll smile and say we had no cares in childhood's day- But we'll be wrong... 'Twill not be true. I've this much care... I care for you.

My friends are my estate. Forgive me then the avarice to hoard them!

Friendship based solely upon gratitude is like a photograph; with time it fades.

We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.

One soul dwelling in two bodies.

I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.

Never injure a friend, even in jest.

The better part of one's life consists of his friendships.

Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.

It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.

The real secret of happiness is not what you give or what you recieve; it's what you share.

Friendship demands attention.

Some of the most rewarding and beautiful moments of a friendship happen in the unforeseen open spaces between planned activites. It is important that you allow these spaces to exist.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.

True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known unless it is lost.

Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself... If you don't have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Sometimes you have to grow farther apart to keep growing together.

Friendship is like a sheltering tree.

He who throws away a friend is as bad as he who throws away his life.

There is no friend like an old friend who has shared our morning days, no greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise.

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults.

To hear complaints with patience, even when complaints are vain, is one of the duties of friendship.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Friendship is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all hearts of all the world.

If, instead of a gem or even a flower, we would cast the gift of a lovely thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as angels give.

The best mirror is an old friend.

We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.

The best friend is the man who in wishing me well wishes it for my sake.

Our friends show us what we can do; our enemies teach us what we must do.

A friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

We have been friends together in sunshine and in shade.

A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or lifetime is certain for those who are friends.

The real test of friendship is: Can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy together those moments of life that are utterly simple? They are the moments people looks back on at the end of life and number as their most sacred experiences.

Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes.

Yesterday brought the beginning, tomorrow brings the end but somewhere in the middle we've become the best of friends.
