More quotes by Helen Keller
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
Helen Keller
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller
Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.
Helen Keller
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Helen Keller
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love of service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty.
Helen Keller
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
Helen Keller
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.
Helen Keller
A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.
Helen Keller
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
Helen Keller
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
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
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller
Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world.
Helen Keller
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
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
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
Helen Keller
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.
Helen Keller
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
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
