More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
I cannot but say a word and look my disapproval when I hear that my country is spending millions for war and war engines-more, I have heard, than twice as much as the entire public school system costs the nation.
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.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but 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.
Helen Keller
Image
Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.
Helen Keller
Image
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
Helen Keller
Image
The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I don't give a damn about semi-radicals!
Helen Keller
Image
Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.
Helen Keller
Image
The world is sown with good but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.
Helen Keller
Image
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Helen Keller
Image
I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
Image
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
Helen Keller
Image
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
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
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
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
