Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller

The worst calamity: 'To have eyes and fail to see.'
Helen Keller
Image
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
Helen Keller
Image
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
Helen Keller
Image
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
Helen Keller
Image
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.
