More quotes by Helen Keller

Helen Keller

Helen Keller

Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Education should train the child to use his brains, to make for himself a place in the world and maintain his rights even when it seems that society would shove him into the scrap-heap.
Helen Keller
I hung about the dangerous frontier of guess, avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
Helen Keller
I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.
Helen Keller
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller
No nation is wise enough to rule another.
