More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
Only in quietness do we possess our own minds and discover the resources of the Inner Life.
Helen Keller
Image
Rebuffed, but always persevering self-reproached, but ever regaining faith undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
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
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.

The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
The things you do today that you don't have to do will determine who, what, and where you will be when it is too late to do anything about the things you should have done.
Helen Keller
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
Helen Keller
Image
The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
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
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Helen Keller
Image
A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.
Helen Keller
Image
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
Helen Keller
Image
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
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
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller
Image
Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.
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.
