More quotes by Helen Keller

Image
God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
Helen Keller
Image
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
Image
We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
Helen Keller

If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!
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.
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
Science may have found a cure for most evils but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.
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
Image
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
Image
True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.
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
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.
