I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
Helen Keller
Image
Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.
Helen Keller
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Image
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
Image
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.

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun. There is always a bright side - even if only that it is not worse...and it can always be worse
Helen Keller
Image
Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
Image
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought. Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder. Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings. Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction. Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
Image
I am only one, But still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can do something And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
Helen Keller
Image
Life is a daring adventure or nothing.
Helen Keller
Image
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed.
Helen Keller
Image
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Image
The bulk of the world's knowledge is an imaginary construction.
Helen Keller
Image
How spiritually blind are men that they fail to see that we are bound together. We rise or fall together we are dwarfed or godlike, free or chained, together.
Helen Keller

The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.
