Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows

More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
Is love the sweetness of flowers?
Helen Keller
Image
Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections, and awakens a sense of creativeness. Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.
Helen Keller
Image
Few pleasures there are indeed without an aftertouch of pain, but that is the preservation which keeps them sweet.
Helen Keller
Image
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
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

No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
Helen Keller

To get Congress to do anything.
Helen Keller
Image
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
Image
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
Helen Keller
Image
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
Helen Keller
Image
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.
Helen Keller
Image
Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
Image
How spiritually blind are men that they fail to see that we are bound together. We rise or fall together we are dwarfed or godlike, free or chained, together.
Helen Keller
Image
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
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
Image
I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!
Helen Keller
