Image
The things you do today that you don't have to do will determine who, what, and where you will be when it is too late to do anything about the things you should have done.
Helen Keller
Image
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller

We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
Helen Keller
Image
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller

Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
Helen Keller
Image
I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.
Helen Keller
Image
So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
Image
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
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
Image
To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.
Helen Keller

The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
