It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
Image
If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
Helen Keller
Image
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller

Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
This great republic is a mockery of freedom as long as you are doomed to dig and sweat to earn a miserable living while the masters enjoy the fruit of your toil.
Helen Keller
Image
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach
Helen Keller
Image
No nation is wise enough to rule another.
Helen Keller
Image
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
Helen Keller
Image
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
Helen Keller

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
