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 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
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
Helen Keller
Image
This great republic is a mockery of freedom as long as you are doomed to dig and sweat to earn a miserable living while the masters enjoy the fruit of your toil.
Helen Keller
Image
Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
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
The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight, but has no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
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.
Helen Keller
Image
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
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
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Image
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
Image
I have made my limitations tools of learning and true joy.
Helen Keller
Image
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
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 to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
Helen Keller
Image
Only in quietness do we possess our own minds and discover the resources of the Inner Life.
Helen Keller
Image
If I write what my soul thinks it will be visible, and the words will be its body.
Helen Keller
Image
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.
Helen Keller
