The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.

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
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them.
Helen Keller
Image
We can drift along with general opinion and tradition, or we can throw ourselves upon the guidance of the soul within and steer courageously toward truth... We have a choice in every event and every limitation and....to choose is to create.
Helen Keller
Image
No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars.

The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within
Helen Keller
Image
As the eagle was killed by the arrow winged with his own feather, so the hand of the world is wounded by its own skill.
Helen Keller
Image
When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body?
Helen Keller
Image
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
