Helen Keller
Image
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

Helen Keller
Image
Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Helen Keller
Image
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
Image

Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
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

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
