Helen Keller
Image
There is no king who has not had a slave among his ancestors, and no slave who has not had a king among his.

Image
Fear: the best way out is through.
Helen Keller
Image
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
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
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Image
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller

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
The world is sown with good but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.
Helen Keller
Image
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days during their early adult life. Darkness would make them more appreciative of sight silence would teach them the joys of sound.
Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
Image
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.
Helen Keller
Image
There is joy in self-forgetfulness. So I try to make the light in others' eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others' lips my happiness.
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.
