Hastens Quote of the Day

Welcome to these Hastens Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it,
while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill.

urges men to struggle against poverty,
ignorance and crime, and dries up
all the fountains of joy in the world.
- Helen Keller

- Helen Keller
...
Helen Keller (1880-1968) overcame being both deaf and blind
