Famous sayings by Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart. 这个世界上最好的和最美的事物我们无法用肉眼看到或用手触 摸到，我们只能用心去感受。 Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows. 直面阳光，你就看不到阴影。 One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. 一个人内心有了飞翔的冲动，就不会满足于在地上爬行。
