Image
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Helen Keller
Image
If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!
Helen Keller
Image
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Helen Keller
Image
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller

Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
Rebuffed, but always persevering self-reproached, but ever regaining faith undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
Helen Keller
Image
Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
Helen Keller
Image
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
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
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
Image
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
Image
The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.
Helen Keller
