More quotes by Helen Keller
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.
Helen Keller
The tragic side of many architectural enterprises is that they destroy natural beauties which are a priceless possession and cannot be replaced.
Helen Keller
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller
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
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
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
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
There is in the blind as in the seeing an Absolute which gives truth to what we know to be true, order to what is orderly, beauty to the beautiful, touchableness to what is tangible.
Helen Keller
When one reads hurriedly and nervously, having in mind written tests and examinations, one's brain becomes encumbered with a lot of bric-a-brac for which there seems to be little use.
Helen Keller
The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.
Helen Keller
So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
Helen Keller
Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.
Helen Keller
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller
No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.
Helen Keller
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
Only in quietness do we possess our own minds and discover the resources of the Inner Life.
Helen Keller
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.
Helen Keller
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller
