Image
The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.
Helen Keller
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
Helen Keller
Image
There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.
Helen Keller
Image
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller
Image
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
Image
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.
Helen Keller

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
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
Image
The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
Helen Keller
Image
My optimism is grounded in two worlds, myself and what is about me. I demand that the world be good, and lo, it obeys. I proclaim the world good, and facts range themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly true.
Helen Keller
Image
If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Image
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
Helen Keller
Image
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.

Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach

Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
