Image
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists.
Helen Keller
Image
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Image
So much has been given me I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied.
Helen Keller
Image
No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.
Helen Keller
Image
Of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.
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
There is much in the Bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge which I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention.

Helen Keller
Image
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller
Image
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
Image
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
Helen Keller
Image
The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
Image
The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.
Helen Keller
Image
What really counts in life is the quiet meeting of every difficulty with the determination to get out of it all the good there is.
Helen Keller
Image
I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
I have found life so beautiful.

To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.
