More quotes by Helen Keller
No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars.
Helen Keller
Even if you have a problem, you don't need to be one.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Be heroes in an army of construction.
Helen Keller
The million little things that drop into your hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way
Helen Keller
In times of danger large groups rise to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, courage and sacrifice . . . Mankind will be refashioned and history rewritten when this law is understood and obeyed.
Helen Keller
Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world.
Helen Keller

Helen Keller
It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made it so pleasant and acceptable to me.
Helen Keller
The wise fools who sit in the high places of justice fail to see that in revolutionary times vital issues are settled not by statutes, decrees and authorities, but in spite if them.
Helen Keller
Don't give me the peace that passeth understanding, give me understanding.
Helen Keller
Things must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller
It is better to have no sight than it is to have no vision.
Helen Keller
Our worst foes are not belligerent circumstances, but wavering spirits.
Helen Keller
I, who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine.
Helen Keller
The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.
Helen Keller
My optimism is grounded in two worlds, myself and what is about me. I demand that the world be good, and lo, it obeys. I proclaim the world good, and facts range themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly true.
Helen Keller
