More quotes by Helen Keller
Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
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
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
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
Helen Keller
Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
Helen Keller
We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
Helen Keller
Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.
Helen Keller
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller
Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
Helen Keller
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse
Helen Keller
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
Helen Keller
I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.
Helen Keller
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
