More quotes by Helen Keller
I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.
Helen Keller
True teaching cannot be learned from text-books any more than a surgeon can acquire his skill by reading about surgery.
Helen Keller
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.
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
Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister's hand.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
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
God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
Helen Keller
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.
Helen Keller
Touch each object as if tomorrow you would never be able to feel anything again.
Helen Keller
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
Helen Keller
