More quotes by Helen Keller
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.
Helen Keller
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.
Helen Keller
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Helen Keller
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Helen Keller
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us
Helen Keller
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
Helen Keller
The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
Helen Keller
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Helen Keller
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
The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. Jesus is the reason for the season! From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.
Helen Keller
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
I never fight, except against difficulties.
Helen Keller
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
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
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Helen Keller
Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion To love everybody sincerely To act in everything with the highest motives To trust God unhesitatingly.
Helen Keller
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
