So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
Helen Keller
Image
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
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.

Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows
Helen Keller

I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Image

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
God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
No nation is wise enough to rule another.
Helen Keller
Image
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
Helen Keller
Image
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
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
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
Image
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller
Image
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
