Helen Keller
Image
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
Helen Keller
Image
I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

Helen Keller
Image
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
Helen Keller
Image
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
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
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
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
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
