Image
Speech is the birthright of every child. It is the deaf child's one fair chance to keep in touch with his fellows.
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
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
Helen Keller
Image
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars.
Helen Keller
Image
I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!
Helen Keller
Image
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
Helen Keller
Image
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
Image
The chief handicap of the blind is not blindness, but the attitude of seeing people towards them.
Helen Keller
Image
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
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
I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.
Helen Keller
Image
I have found out that though the ways in which I can make myself useful are few, yet the work open to me is endless.
Helen Keller
Image
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
