More quotes by Helen Keller
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.
Helen Keller
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller
Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.
Helen Keller
Commercial concerns have expanded from family business to corporate wealth which is self-perpetuating and which enlightened statesmen and economists now dread as the most potent oligarchy yet produced.
Helen Keller
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
I wonder what becomes of lost opportunities? Perhaps our guardian angel gathers them up as we drop them, and will give them back to us in the beautiful sometime when we have grown wiser, and learned how to use them rightly.
Helen Keller
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
Helen Keller
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
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
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
Helen Keller
Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.
Helen Keller
Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Helen Keller
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
Helen Keller
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
Helen Keller
The greatest tragedy in life is people who have sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
