More quotes by Helen Keller
Rebuffed, but always persevering self-reproached, but ever regaining faith undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
Helen Keller
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
Helen Keller
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller
Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections, and awakens a sense of creativeness. Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.
Helen Keller
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
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
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.
Helen Keller
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
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
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.
Helen Keller
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.
Helen Keller
Happiness rarely keeps company with an empty stomach
Helen Keller
Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.
Helen Keller
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Every modern war has had its roots in exploitation.
Helen Keller
The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
Helen Keller
