More quotes by Helen Keller
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen Keller
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
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
Serious harm, I am afraid, has been wrought to our generation by fostering the idea that they would live secure in a permanent order of things.
Helen Keller
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
Helen Keller
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.
Helen Keller
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
Helen Keller
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
Helen Keller
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller
Silver is purified in fire and so are we. It is in the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.
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
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
The clatter of a changing world is not pleasant, and those who have enjoyed the comforts and protection of the old order may be shocked and unhappy when they behold the vigorous young builders of a new world sweeping away their time-honored antiquities.
Helen Keller
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Many of us delude ourselves with the thought that if we could stand in the lot of our more fortunate neighbor, we could live better, happier and more useful lives. ... It is my experience that unless we can succeed in our present position, we could not succeed in any other.
Helen Keller
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Helen Keller
