When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

Smell is a fallen angel.
Helen Keller

The million little things that drop into your hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way

One painful duty fulfilled makes the next plainer and easier.
Helen Keller
Image
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
Helen Keller
Image
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
Image
I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.
Helen Keller
Image
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller
Image
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.

Blindness separates people from things deafness separates people from people.
