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
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Helen Keller
Image
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
Helen Keller
Image
Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
Helen Keller
Image
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.
Helen Keller
Image
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
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
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
The things you do today that you don't have to do will determine who, what, and where you will be when it is too late to do anything about the things you should have done.
Helen Keller
Image
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
