More quotes by Helen Keller

Helen Keller
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
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
I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
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
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
Helen Keller
Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion To love everybody sincerely To act in everything with the highest motives To trust God unhesitatingly.
Helen Keller
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
I will eat grandfather for dinner.
Helen Keller
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Helen Keller
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
