Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
Image
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.

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
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
Image
Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Helen Keller
Image
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
Image
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
