Helen Keller
Image
When you lose your vision, you lose contact with things. When you lose your hearing, you lose contact with people.

Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lie in you.
Helen Keller
Image
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
Image
I do not mean to object to a thorough knowledge of the famous works we read. I object only to the interminable comments and bewildering criticisms that teach but one thing: there are as many opinions as there are men.
Helen Keller
Image
The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
Helen Keller
Image
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller
Image
Death is no more than passing from one room into another.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours ... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness.
