Image
I found that of the senses, the eye is the most superficial, the ear the most arrogant, smell the most voluptuous, taste the most superstitious and fickle, touch the most profound and the most philosophical.
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.
Helen Keller
Image
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
Image
I am conscious of a soul-sense that lifts me above the narrow, cramping circumstances of my life. My physical limitations are forgotten- my world lies upward, the length and the breadth and the sweep of the heavens are mine!
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.
Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.
Helen Keller
Image
Ideas without action are useless.
Helen Keller
Image
Blindness separates us from things but deafness separates us from people.
Helen Keller
Image
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.
Helen Keller
Image
The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place.
Helen Keller
Image
What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.
Helen Keller
Image
I wonder what becomes of lost opportunities? Perhaps our guardian angel gathers them up as we drop them, and will give them back to us in the beautiful sometime when we have grown wiser, and learned how to use them rightly.
Helen Keller
Image
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
Helen Keller
Image
When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.
Helen Keller
