More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
Helen Keller
Image
The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller

Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world.
Helen Keller
Image
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
Helen Keller
Image
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
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
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
No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
Helen Keller
Image
In times of danger large groups rise to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, courage and sacrifice . . . Mankind will be refashioned and history rewritten when this law is understood and obeyed.
Helen Keller
Image
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.
Helen Keller
Image
I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.
Helen Keller
Image
I wonder what becomes of lost opportunities? Perhaps our guardian angel gathers them up as we drop them, and will give them back to us in the beautiful sometime when we have grown wiser, and learned how to use them rightly.
Helen Keller
Image
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
