Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
Image
When I recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me I withdraw all charges against life. If much has been denied me, much, very much has been given. So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart I shall say that life is good.

Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.

The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.
Helen Keller
Image
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.

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
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
The worst calamity: 'To have eyes and fail to see.'
Helen Keller
Image
The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
Helen Keller
Image
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller
Image
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.
Helen Keller
Image
We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!
Helen Keller
Image
I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.
Helen Keller
Image
The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
Helen Keller
Image
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
Image
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
