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
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
Image
This great republic is a mockery of freedom as long as you are doomed to dig and sweat to earn a miserable living while the masters enjoy the fruit of your toil.
Helen Keller
Image
For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.
Helen Keller

Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
Helen Keller
Image
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
Image
What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.
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 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
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
Image
Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
Image
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
Helen Keller
Image
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Alone we can do so little together we can do so much.
Helen Keller
Image
Fear: the best way out is through.
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.
Helen Keller
Image
Only in quietness do we possess our own minds and discover the resources of the Inner Life.
Helen Keller

I have found life so beautiful.
