Image
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
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
Knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low.
Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
Image
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
Helen Keller
Image
Certainly it is one of our sweetest experiences that when we are touched by some noble affection or pure joy, we remember the dead most tenderly, and feel more powerfully drawn to them.
Helen Keller
Image
It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller
Image
I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.
Helen Keller
Image
It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields.
Helen Keller
Image

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
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
Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Helen Keller
Image
The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller
Image
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.
Helen Keller
Image
I hung about the dangerous frontier of guess, avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
Helen Keller
Image
Every modern war has had its roots in exploitation.
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

God himself is not secure, having given man dominion over his work.
