Image
We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.
Helen Keller
Image
My optimism is grounded in two worlds, myself and what is about me. I demand that the world be good, and lo, it obeys. I proclaim the world good, and facts range themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly true.
Helen Keller
Image
Do not think of to-day's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.
Helen Keller
Image
Ignorance, poverty, and greed must disappear so that light can prevail in all places.
Helen Keller
Image
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.
Helen Keller
Image
Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight. True education combines intellect, beauty, goodness, and the greatest of these is goodness. When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Helen Keller
Image
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller
Image
How futile are words in the ears of those who mourn.
Helen Keller
Image
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
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
I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the colour and fragrance of a flower - the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
Image
It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made it so pleasant and acceptable to me.
Helen Keller
Image
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.
Helen Keller
Image
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind it requires the same effort of the brain that it takes to balance oneself on a bicycle.
Helen Keller
Image
A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.
Helen Keller
Image
A good education is a stepping-stone to wealth.
Helen Keller
Image
I am thankful that in a troubled world no calamity can prevent the return of spring.
Helen Keller
Image
I have found life so beautiful.
Helen Keller
Image
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller
Image
We can decide to let our trials crush us, or we can convert them to new forces of good.
Helen Keller
