More quotes by Helen Keller
Smell is a fallen angel.
Helen Keller
I wonder what becomes of lost opportunities? Perhaps our guardian angel gathers them up as we drop them, and will give them back to us in the beautiful sometime when we have grown wiser, and learned how to use them rightly.
Helen Keller
Life is an adventure or nothing
Helen Keller
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
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 best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
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
The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. Jesus is the reason for the season! From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.
Helen Keller
The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.
Helen Keller
If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.
Helen Keller
So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
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
My optimism is grounded in two worlds, myself and what is about me. I demand that the world be good, and lo, it obeys. I proclaim the world good, and facts range themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly true.
Helen Keller
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller
One painful duty fulfilled makes the next plainer and easier.
Helen Keller
The wise fools who sit in the high places of justice fail to see that in revolutionary times vital issues are settled not by statutes, decrees and authorities, but in spite if them.
Helen Keller
I have made my limitations tools of learning and true joy.
Helen Keller
Now I feel as if I should succeed in doing something in mathematics, although I cannot see why it is so very important. . . The knowledge doesn't make life any sweeter or happier, does it?
Helen Keller
