MEMORABLE QUOTES:
- “Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind…”
- "If you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
- “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”
Bell was a great man–not only as a scientist, but as a humanist. Financially, and with his scientific knowledge, he helped the hearing-impaired and the deaf. When he learned of young (and childish…and prone to fits of despair) Helen Keller’s hardships and cries for help, he arranged for Anne Sullivan (the “miracle worker” in the movie by that name) to meet Helen, reside at her parents’ home, and teach her. Under Anne’s tutelage, deaf-“dumb”-and-blind Helen Keller blossomed into one of the great human beings of the 20th Century. (Mark Twain called her “the pride of the centuries.”)
