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
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
Image
There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

Serious harm, I am afraid, has been wrought to our generation by fostering the idea that they would live secure in a permanent order of things.
Helen Keller

I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.
Helen Keller
Image
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
Image
It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
Helen Keller

So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
