Growing up oral is a waste of educating,learning the true sign language from my hands has the meaning of education.

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. By the way, I’m blind, deaf, mute, and late… if you know what I mean.”-Helen Keller

Wow, I liked the way you got all the quotes together on the list. Cool, Bug!

Here is Jodi’s favorite quote I once added on my blog with my favorite picture I posted…
Kindness is the language the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear and understand.
Christain Nestell Boveee

That is Jodi’s favorite quote

I do enjoy reading this and the comments from two people here….Bug

As I am deaf from birth is something that I learned from my dad, he often told me “Be proud of yourself, show the people who you are and do not allow them to push you down, if they do, they have no knowlege of beauty life in the deaf world”

Glickman writes:

“Deaf people can do anything, except hear.”- I. King Jordan (Former President of Gallaudet University)”

For the sake of the historical truth, it was the late Dr. Frederick Schreibner, president of the NAD, who said that line (infra supra). May I, therefore, suggest that Glickman
re-write “I. King Jordan borrowed the late Dr. Frederick
Schreibner’s line.” He might take the liberty to add that
albeit late-deafened, I. King Jordan prefers being considered as “hearing” (media, 1978).
