Image
I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory.
Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love of service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.

Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
Helen Keller
Image
Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
Helen Keller
Image
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
Image
THE most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me
Helen Keller
Image
Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.
Helen Keller
Image
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Image
The million little things that drop into your hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way
Helen Keller
Image
The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!
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

A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea
