More quotes by 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
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing.
Helen Keller
I am only one, But still I am one.
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
If I, deaf, blind, find life rich and interesting, how much more can you gain by the use of your five senses!
Helen Keller
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
Smell is a fallen angel.
Helen Keller
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.
Helen Keller
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
Helen Keller
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
I believe war is the inevitable fruit of our economic system.
Helen Keller
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.
Helen Keller
This great republic is a mockery of freedom as long as you are doomed to dig and sweat to earn a miserable living while the masters enjoy the fruit of your toil.
Helen Keller
The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.
Helen Keller
