Quote

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.

How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
Image
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller

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
I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.

Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.
Helen Keller

I don't give a damn about semi-radicals!

A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Helen Keller
Image
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.

Image
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller

Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
