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 the something that I can do.

More quotes by Helen Keller

Image

Helen Keller
Image
It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
Helen Keller

Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.

The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
Helen Keller
Image
I could never stay long enough on the shore the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.
Helen Keller
Image
As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.
Helen Keller
Image
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller

What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.
Helen Keller
Image
The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. Jesus is the reason for the season! From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.
Helen Keller
Image
To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.
Helen Keller
Image
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
The tragic side of many architectural enterprises is that they destroy natural beauties which are a priceless possession and cannot be replaced.
Helen Keller
Image
The wise fools who sit in the high places of justice fail to see that in revolutionary times vital issues are settled not by statutes, decrees and authorities, but in spite if them.
Helen Keller
Image
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Helen Keller
Image
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
