Quote

I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.

Be happy. Talk happiness.
Helen Keller
Image
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller
Image
What really counts in life is the quiet meeting of every difficulty with the determination to get out of it all the good there is.
Helen Keller
Image
I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
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 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
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
Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.
Helen Keller
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
Helen Keller
Image
Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
Helen Keller
Image
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Helen Keller
Image
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
Helen Keller
Image
Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.
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 living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
Helen Keller
