More quotes by Helen Keller
The things you do today that you don't have to do will determine who, what, and where you will be when it is too late to do anything about the things you should have done.
Helen Keller
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
Helen Keller
To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.
Helen Keller
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
Helen Keller
Rebuffed, but always persevering self-reproached, but ever regaining faith undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
Helen Keller
Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller
My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.
Helen Keller
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
Helen Keller
One painful duty fulfilled makes the next plainer and easier.
Helen Keller
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
Blindness separates people from things deafness separates people from people.
Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Every modern war has had its roots in exploitation.
Helen Keller
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
Helen Keller
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
