Image
I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.
Helen Keller
Image
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
Image
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
Helen Keller
Image
It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made it so pleasant and acceptable to me.

Helen Keller
Image
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
Image
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
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
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller
Image
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
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.

The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
