More quotes by Helen Keller
health in all lands is among the indispensable guarantees of human progress.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
Helen Keller
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
Helen Keller
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
I could never stay long enough on the shore the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.
Helen Keller
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
Helen Keller
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
I do not mean to object to a thorough knowledge of the famous works we read. I object only to the interminable comments and bewildering criticisms that teach but one thing: there are as many opinions as there are men.
Helen Keller
If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.
Helen Keller
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
Helen Keller
The continued lynchings and other crimes against negroes, whether in New England or the South, and unspeakable political exponents of white supremacy, according to all recorded history, augur ill for America's future.
Helen Keller
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
Helen Keller
It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.
Helen Keller
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
Helen Keller
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
Helen Keller
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
Helen Keller
Words are the mind's wings, are they not?
Helen Keller
