To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
Helen Keller
Image
Our worst foes are not belligerent circumstances, but wavering spirits.
Helen Keller
Image
Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.
Helen Keller
Image
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
Image
It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows
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
Be not dismayed in the future lies the Promised Land.
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.
Helen Keller
Image
I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.
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
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
What really counts in life is the quiet meeting of every difficulty with the determination to get out of it all the good there is.
Helen Keller
Image
Things must be felt with the heart.
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
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
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.

The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.
