Image
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
Image
To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.
Helen Keller
Image
I do not remember a time since I have been capable of loving books that I have not loved Shakespeare.
Helen Keller

Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.
Helen Keller
Image
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

What can rulers, nobility and all the lords of the earth say to justify the horrible killing and maiming of twenty or thirty million valuable men who a short while ago ploughed, dug, wove, built, guided the traffic of the world, took their pleasure, loved their fellows, cherished their families, and feared naught?
Helen Keller

The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
Helen Keller
Image
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Helen Keller
Image
The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
Image
True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.
Helen Keller
Image
The best things in life are unseen, thats why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream
Helen Keller
Image
If we do not like our work, and do not try to get happiness out of it, we are a menace to our profession as well as to ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.

When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse
Helen Keller
