Helen Keller
Image
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Image
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
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

Helen Keller
Image
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
Image
I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Helen Keller
Image
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
Helen Keller
Image
I have found life so beautiful.
Helen Keller
Image
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
Image
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
Image
As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.
Helen Keller
Image
I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.
Helen Keller
Image
Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
