More quotes by Helen Keller
What can rulers, nobility and all the lords of the earth say to justify the horrible killing and maiming of twenty or thirty million valuable men who a short while ago ploughed, dug, wove, built, guided the traffic of the world, took their pleasure, loved their fellows, cherished their families, and feared naught?
Helen Keller
Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
Helen Keller
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
Helen Keller
The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
Helen Keller
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller
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
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Helen Keller
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
Helen Keller
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
Helen Keller
No nation is wise enough to rule another.
Helen Keller
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
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
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.
Helen Keller
Silver is purified in fire and so are we. It is in the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.
Helen Keller
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
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
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller
