More quotes by Helen Keller
Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.
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 highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
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
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 continued lynchings and other crimes against negroes, whether in New England or the South, and unspeakable political exponents of white supremacy, according to all recorded history, augur ill for America's future.
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
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
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Helen Keller
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Helen Keller
I do not remember a time since I have been capable of loving books that I have not loved Shakespeare.
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
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
Helen Keller
The worst calamity: 'To have eyes and fail to see.'
Helen Keller
Words are the mind's wings, are they not?
Helen Keller
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
Helen Keller
