Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.
Helen Keller
Image
Many of us delude ourselves with the thought that if we could stand in the lot of our more fortunate neighbor, we could live better, happier and more useful lives. ... It is my experience that unless we can succeed in our present position, we could not succeed in any other.
Helen Keller
Image
Gullibility is the key to all adventures. The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything it is he who gets the most out of life.
Helen Keller
Image
Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.
Helen Keller
Image
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Helen Keller

Ideas without action are useless.
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
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.

The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
Helen Keller
Image
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
Helen Keller
Image
The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
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
To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug.
