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
In times of danger large groups rise to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, courage and sacrifice . . . Mankind will be refashioned and history rewritten when this law is understood and obeyed.
Helen Keller
Image
Tyranny cannot defeat the power of ideas.
Helen Keller
Image
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love of service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty.
Helen Keller
Image
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
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
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
Helen Keller
Image
I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.
Helen Keller
Image
Ideas without action are useless.
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.

A good education is a stepping-stone to wealth.
