More quotes by Helen Keller
If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!
Helen Keller
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller
I could never stay long enough on the shore the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.
Helen Keller
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
A good education is a stepping-stone to wealth.
Helen Keller
In times of danger large groups rise to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, courage and sacrifice . . . Mankind will be refashioned and history rewritten when this law is understood and obeyed.
Helen Keller
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.
Helen Keller
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
Helen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
Helen Keller
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.
Helen Keller
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
Helen Keller
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.
Helen Keller
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
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
My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.
Helen Keller
