Image
A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.
Helen Keller
Image
I never fight, except against difficulties.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Helen Keller
Image
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller
Image
He who marries the spirit of the age soon becomes a widower.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
Image
No smile is as beautiful as the one that struggles through tears.
Helen Keller
Image
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
The test of all beliefs is their practical effect in life. If it be true that optimism compels the world forward, and pessimism retards it, then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.
Helen Keller
Image
The million little things that drop into your hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way
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

Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
