Image
We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
Helen Keller
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
Many of us delude ourselves with the thought that if we could stand in the lot of our more fortunate neighbor, we could live better, happier and more useful lives. ... It is my experience that unless we can succeed in our present position, we could not succeed in any other.
Helen Keller
Image
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller
Image
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Image
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
Image
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Rebuffed, but always persevering self-reproached, but ever regaining faith undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
Helen Keller
Image
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Image
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
