More quotes by Helen Keller
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
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

Helen Keller
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
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.

Helen Keller
They took away what should have been my eyes (but I remembered Milton's Paradise). They took away what should have been my ears, (Beethoven came and wiped away my tears) They took away what should have been my tongue, (but I had talked with god when I was young) He would not let them take away my soul, possessing that I still possess the whole.
Helen Keller
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
The best preparedness is the one that disarms the hostility of other nations and makes friends of them.
Helen Keller
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
I will eat grandfather for dinner.
Helen Keller
Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Helen Keller
I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God.
Helen Keller
Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.
