Helen Keller
Image

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
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.

The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
Image
health in all lands is among the indispensable guarantees of human progress.
Helen Keller
Image
I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.
Helen Keller
Image
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
