More quotes by 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
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
Helen Keller
Image
When one reads hurriedly and nervously, having in mind written tests and examinations, one's brain becomes encumbered with a lot of bric-a-brac for which there seems to be little use.
Helen Keller
Image
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.

Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.
Helen Keller
Image
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.

Helen Keller
Image
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
Helen Keller
Image
Joy is a spiritual element that gives vicissitudes unity and significance.
Helen Keller
Image
The continued lynchings and other crimes against negroes, whether in New England or the South, and unspeakable political exponents of white supremacy, according to all recorded history, augur ill for America's future.
Helen Keller
Image
The world is sown with good but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.
Helen Keller
Image
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.
Helen Keller
Image
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
Helen Keller
Image
I hung about the dangerous frontier of guess, avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!
