More quotes by Helen Keller
I wonder what becomes of lost opportunities? Perhaps our guardian angel gathers them up as we drop them, and will give them back to us in the beautiful sometime when we have grown wiser, and learned how to use them rightly.
Helen Keller
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision.
Helen Keller
The wise fools who sit in the high places of justice fail to see that in revolutionary times vital issues are settled not by statutes, decrees and authorities, but in spite if them.
Helen Keller
For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.
Helen Keller
When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.
Helen Keller
I can not do everything, but I can do something. I must not fail to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
A good education is a stepping-stone to wealth.
Helen Keller
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Helen Keller
A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
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
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.
Helen Keller
Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.
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
I cannot but say a word and look my disapproval when I hear that my country is spending millions for war and war engines-more, I have heard, than twice as much as the entire public school system costs the nation.
Helen Keller
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
The idea of brotherhood re-dawns upon the world with a broader significance than the narrow association of members in a sect or creed.
