More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
Image
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
Helen Keller
Image
The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.
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
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
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
Speech is the birthright of every child. It is the deaf child's one fair chance to keep in touch with his fellows.
Helen Keller
Image
Science may have found a cure for most evils but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.
Helen Keller
Image
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
Helen Keller
Image
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.
Helen Keller
Image
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.
Helen Keller
Image
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
Helen Keller
Image
No nation is wise enough to rule another.
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
If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.
Helen Keller
Image
Every modern war has had its roots in exploitation.
