If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
Helen Keller
Image
Serious harm, I am afraid, has been wrought to our generation by fostering the idea that they would live secure in a permanent order of things.
Helen Keller
Image
All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us
Helen Keller
Image
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea

Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
The tragic side of many architectural enterprises is that they destroy natural beauties which are a priceless possession and cannot be replaced.
Helen Keller
Image

Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
Helen Keller
Image
There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.
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
God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows
Helen Keller
Image
Now I feel as if I should succeed in doing something in mathematics, although I cannot see why it is so very important. . . The knowledge doesn't make life any sweeter or happier, does it?
Helen Keller
Image
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
