One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Image
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!
Helen Keller
Image
Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.
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
I have made my limitations tools of learning and true joy.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
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
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
Image
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
Helen Keller
Image
Look the world straight in the eye.
Helen Keller
Image
The danger of having the Constitution twisted and misconstrued to support vested interests and prejudices must be guarded against if American democracy is to maintain a progressive character.
Helen Keller
Image
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Helen Keller
Image
The clatter of a changing world is not pleasant, and those who have enjoyed the comforts and protection of the old order may be shocked and unhappy when they behold the vigorous young builders of a new world sweeping away their time-honored antiquities.
Helen Keller
Image
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
Image
I never fight, except against difficulties.
