Image
Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.
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
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.

Image
I am only one, But still I am one.
Helen Keller
Image
Speech is the birthright of every child. It is the deaf child's one fair chance to keep in touch with his fellows.
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

Helen Keller
Image
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller

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?
Helen Keller
Image
Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
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.
Helen Keller
Image
My friends have made the story of my life. In a thousand ways they have turned my limitations into beautiful privileges.
Helen Keller
Image
Long before I learned to do a sum in arithmetic or describe the shape of the earth, Miss Sullivan had taught me to find beauty in the fragrant woods, in every blade of grass, and in the curves and dimples of my baby sister's hand.
Helen Keller
Image
Blindness separates people from things deafness separates people from people.
Helen Keller
Image
The woman who works for a dollar a day has as much right as any other human being to say what the conditions of her work should be.
Helen Keller
Image
If I could have only one of my senses then I would choose hearing, Then I wouldn't feel so all alone.
Helen Keller
Image
I can see, and that is why I can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.
