For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.

Helen Keller
Image
I never fight, except against difficulties.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.
Helen Keller
Image
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
Helen Keller
Image
Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
Helen Keller
Image
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!
Helen Keller
Image
I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Helen Keller
Image
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
