More quotes by Helen Keller
No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
Helen Keller
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
Silver is purified in fire and so are we. It is in the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.
Helen Keller
Instead of being satisfied to alleviate suffering, we shall labor hard and continually to prevent it.
Helen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Speech is the birthright of every child. It is the deaf child's one fair chance to keep in touch with his fellows.
Helen Keller
Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.
Helen Keller
I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
Helen Keller
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.
Helen Keller
Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.
Helen Keller
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
Helen Keller
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Helen Keller
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Helen Keller
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Helen Keller
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
Helen Keller
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
