Image
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Helen Keller
Image
A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness cannot come from without. It must come from within. It is not what we see and touch or that which others do for us which makes us happy it is that which we think and feel and do, first for the other fellow and then for ourselves.
Helen Keller
Image
I look upon the whole world as my fatherland, and every war has to me the horror of a family feud.
Helen Keller
Image
So long as you can sweeten another's pain, life is not in vain.
Helen Keller
Image
I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.
Helen Keller
Image
Oh, you think the darkness is your ally, but you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it.
Helen Keller
Image
When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne, let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted into which our grief has given us entrance. And inevitably, we will feel about us their arms, their sympathy and their understanding.
Helen Keller
Image
Smell is a potent wizard that transports you across thousands of miles and all the years you have lived.
Helen Keller
Image
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
Helen Keller
Image
I hung about the dangerous frontier of guess, avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.
Helen Keller
Image
This great republic is a mockery of freedom as long as you are doomed to dig and sweat to earn a miserable living while the masters enjoy the fruit of your toil.
Helen Keller
Image
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
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
One must envision the higher life and behave as if it were a fact before it can unfold.
Helen Keller
Image
The best things in life are unseen, thats why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream
Helen Keller
Image
For my part, I wish, with Mr. Howells, that the literature of the past might be purged of all that is ugly and barbarous in it, although I should object as much as any one to having these great works weakened or falsified.
Helen Keller
Image
Trying to write is very much like trying to put a Chinese puzzle together. We have a pattern in mind which we wish to work out in words but the words will not fit the spaces, or, if they do, they will not match the design.
Helen Keller
Image
What can rulers, nobility and all the lords of the earth say to justify the horrible killing and maiming of twenty or thirty million valuable men who a short while ago ploughed, dug, wove, built, guided the traffic of the world, took their pleasure, loved their fellows, cherished their families, and feared naught?
