Image
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all.
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
Words are the mind's wings, are they not?
Helen Keller
Image
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.
Helen Keller
Image
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
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.

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
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
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
Helen Keller
Image
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
Image
We cannot freely and wisely choose the right way for ourselves unless we know both good and evil.
Helen Keller
Image
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
Helen Keller
Image
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
Image
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller
Image
Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows
Helen Keller
Image
Every one of us is blind and deaf until our eyes are opened to our fellowmen, until our ears hear the voice of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
What can rulers, nobility and all the lords of the earth say to justify the horrible killing and maiming of twenty or thirty million valuable men who a short while ago ploughed, dug, wove, built, guided the traffic of the world, took their pleasure, loved their fellows, cherished their families, and feared naught?

They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
