Text Quotes
The power of effecting changes for the better is within ourselves, not in the favorableness of circumstances  (Helen Keller Quotes) Health in all lands is among the indispensable guarantees of human progress  (Helen Keller Quotes) Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness  (Helen Keller Quotes) I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses  (Helen Keller Quotes) I thank God for my handicaps. For through them, I have found myself, my work and my God  (Helen Keller Quotes) We need limitations and temptations to open our inner selves, dispel our ignorance, tear off disguises, throw down old idols, and destroy false standards. Only by such rude awakenings can we be led to dwell in a place where we are less cramped, less hindered by the ever-insistent External. Only then do we discover a new capacity and appreciation of goodness and beauty and truth  (Helen Keller Quotes) There is joy in self-forgetfulness. So I try to make the light in others’ eyes my sun, the music in others’ ears my symphony, the smile on others’ lips my happiness  (Helen Keller Quotes) Ruth is so loyal and gentle-hearted, we cannot help loving her, as she stands with the reapers amid the waving corn. Her beautiful, unselfish spirit shines out like a bright star in the night of a dark and cruel age. Love like Ruth’s, love which can rise above conflicting creeds and deep-seated racial prejudices, is hard to find in all the world  (Helen Keller Quotes) 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 Quotes) What a strange life I lead- a kind of Cinderella-life-half glitter in crystal shoes, half mice and cinders! But it is a wonderful life all the same  (Helen Keller Quotes) To keep on trying in spite of disappointment and failure is the only way to keep young and brave. Failures become victories if they make us wise-hearted  (Helen Keller Quotes) THE most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me  (Helen Keller Quotes) It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish, and in what singular places they look for this well-spring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches, some in the pride of power, and others in the achievements of art and literature; a few seek it in the exploration of their own minds, or in search for knowledge  (Helen Keller Quotes) I am just as deaf as I am blind. The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus- the sound of the voice that brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps us in the intellectual company of man  (Helen Keller Quotes) The million little things that drop into your hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way  (Helen Keller Quotes) Our beloved ones have not ‘gone to a far country.’ It is only the veil of sense that separates them from us, and even that veil grows thin when our thoughts reach out to them  (Helen Keller Quotes) A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea  (Helen Keller Quotes) Certainly I believe that God gave us life for happiness, not misery. Humanity, I am sure, will never be made lazy or indifferent by an excess of happiness. 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. Happiness should be a means of accomplishment, like health, not an end in itself  (Helen Keller Quotes) Let pessimism once take hold of the mind, and life is all topsy-turvy, all vanity and vexation of spirit. There is no cure for individual or social disorder, except in forgetfulness and annihilation  (Helen Keller Quotes) I have walked with people whose eyes are full of light but who see nothing in sea or sky, nothing in city streets, nothing in books. It were far better to sail forever in the night of blindness with sense, and feeling, and mind, than to be content with the mere act of seeing. The only lightless dark is the night of darkness in ignorance and insensibility  (Helen Keller Quotes) Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.  (Helen Keller Quotes) 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 Quotes) 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 Quotes) The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. Jesus is the reason for the season! From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.  (Helen Keller Quotes) The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.  (Helen Keller Quotes) 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 Quotes) Friends create the world anew each day. Without their loving care, courage would not suffice to keep heartsstrong for life.  (Helen Keller Quotes) Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.  (Helen Keller Quotes) I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. They come to you and me in our darkest hours, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give, to guide us with a light of love.  (Helen Keller Quotes) Once I knew the depth where no hope was and darkness lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set my soul free.  (Helen Keller Quotes)
