Helen Keller: Citáty v angličtine

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

Edward Everett Hale in a statement published in A Year of Beautiful Thoughts‎ (1902) by Jeanie Ashley Bates Greenough, p. 172; <!-- and perhaps as early as an edition of Ten Times One is Ten (1870) by Hale--> This has been misattributed to Keller in published works since at least 1980. Keller and Hale were good friends, and letters to Hale can be found in her youthful autobiography The Story of My Life (1902). In 1910 Keller dedicated her poem "The Song of the Stone Wall" to Hale who had died in 1909.
Misattributed
Varianta: I am only one, but I am one. I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart”

Varianta: The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Varianta: The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched... but are felt in the heart.

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.”

Varianta: Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

Zdroj: The Open Door (1957) This quotation is often contracted into: Security is mostly a superstition... Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. or paraphrased: Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

“Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think.”

Helen Keller kniha Optimism

Optimism (1903)
Kontext: The highest result of education is tolerance. Long ago men fought and died for their faith; but it took ages to teach them the other kind of courage, — the courage to recognize the faiths of their brethren and their rights of conscience. Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think.

“People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.”

Helen Keller: Her Socialist Years (1967)
Kontext: Some people do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions; and conclusions are not always pleasant. They are a thorn in the spirit. But I consider it a priceless gift and a deep responsibility to think.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

"Helen and Teacher: The Story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan Macy", Joseph P. Lash (1980) http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/04/21/together/

“The Bible gives me a deep, comforting sense that "things seen are temporal and things unseen are eternal."”

Zdroj: Address to the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (8 July 1896) http://www.afb.org/mylife/book.asp?ch=P3Ch4, quoted in supplement to The Story of My Life

“Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.”

“Love like Ruth's, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world.”

Helen Keller kniha The Story of My Life

Zdroj: The Story of My Life (1903), Ch. 21
Kontext: Ruth is so loyal and gentle-hearted, we cannot help loving her, as she stands with the reapers amid the waving corn. Her beautiful, unselfish spirit shines out like a bright star in the night of a dark and cruel age. Love like Ruth's, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world.

“Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.”

"Strike Against War", speech in Carnegie Hall (5 January 1916) http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/helenstrike.html
Kontext: Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.

“The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me.”

Helen Keller kniha The Story of My Life

Zdroj: The Story of My Life (1903), Ch. 4
Kontext: The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
