Helen Keller
Image
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image

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
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
Image
No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
Helen Keller
Image
Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
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
Image
