Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
Helen Keller
Image
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
Helen Keller
Image
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller

So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
How spiritually blind are men that they fail to see that we are bound together. We rise or fall together we are dwarfed or godlike, free or chained, together.
Helen Keller
Image
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
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
It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

Image
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.

If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.

The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
