Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
The clatter of a changing world is not pleasant, and those who have enjoyed the comforts and protection of the old order may be shocked and unhappy when they behold the vigorous young builders of a new world sweeping away their time-honored antiquities.
Helen Keller
Image
When one door closes, another one opens, but sometimes we wait too long looking at the closed door, and never realize that another door has been opened.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within

Helen Keller
Image

Helen Keller
Image
If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
Poverty is the fundamental cause of most of the physical, moral and economic ills of humanity.
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
Everybody talks, nobody listens. Good listeners are as rare as white crows.
Helen Keller
Image
It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
Helen Keller
Image
I feel the flame of eternity in my soul.
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
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
Image
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Helen Keller

Alone we can do so little together we can do so much.
