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
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
I have depended on books not only for pleasure and for the wisdom they bring to all who read, but also for that knowledge which comes to others through their eyes and their ears.
Helen Keller
Image
Four things to learn in life: To think clearly without hurry or confusion To love everybody sincerely To act in everything with the highest motives To trust God unhesitatingly.
