More quotes by Helen Keller
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
Helen Keller
Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Faith reinvigorates the will, enriches the affections, and awakens a sense of creativeness. Active faith knows no fear, and it is a safeguard to me against cynicism and despair.
Helen Keller
Education should train the child to use his brains, to make for himself a place in the world and maintain his rights even when it seems that society would shove him into the scrap-heap.
Helen Keller
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller
A smile goes a long way, but you must first start it on its journey.

We must not creep along when our souls cry out for us to soar!
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
Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.
Helen Keller
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
Helen Keller
We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
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
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
I never fight, except against difficulties.
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
The worst calamity: 'To have eyes and fail to see.'
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
