Image
I do not mean to object to a thorough knowledge of the famous works we read. I object only to the interminable comments and bewildering criticisms that teach but one thing: there are as many opinions as there are men.
Helen Keller
Image
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
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
If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
I cannot but say a word and look my disapproval when I hear that my country is spending millions for war and war engines-more, I have heard, than twice as much as the entire public school system costs the nation.

Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.
Helen Keller
Image
Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.
Helen Keller
Image
I will eat grandfather for dinner.
Helen Keller
Image
I hung about the dangerous frontier of guess, avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
Helen Keller
Image
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
Image
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows
Helen Keller
Image
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
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
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
