More quotes by Helen Keller
The world is sown with good but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.
Helen Keller
The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
Helen Keller
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.
Helen Keller
Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Helen Keller
There is joy in self-forgetfulness. So I try to make the light in others' eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others' lips my happiness.
Helen Keller
Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections, and awakens a sense of creativeness. Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.
Helen Keller
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen Keller
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
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
When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.
Helen Keller
There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.
Helen Keller
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister's hand.
Helen Keller
We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!
Helen Keller
It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made it so pleasant and acceptable to me.
Helen Keller
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.
Helen Keller
