We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse

One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller

I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
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
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you.
Helen Keller
Image
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
Image
Surely there is no road of effort so steep but a loving deed may soften its hardshness.
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
