Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love of service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Image
The clatter of a changing world is not pleasant, and those who have enjoyed the comforts and protection of the old order may be shocked and unhappy when they behold the vigorous young builders of a new world sweeping away their time-honored antiquities.
Helen Keller

Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach
Helen Keller
Image
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller

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 can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller
Image
I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
