Knowledge is power." Rather, ...

Knowledge is power." Rather, knowledge is happiness, because to have knowledge - broad, deep knowledge - is to know true ends from false, and lofty things from low. To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heart-throbs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Your success and happiness li...

Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Security is mostly a supersti...

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

God doesn't promise security ...

God doesn't promise security from life's storms but security in life's storms. God doesn't always call the equipped, but he will always equip the called. In the long run, avoiding danger is no safer than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

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 569 quotes

Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!

When all you can feel are the shadows, turn your face towards the sun.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Be of good cheer. Do not thin...

Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles... Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.

Look the world straight in the eye.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The clatter of a changing wor...

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 569 quotes

Our beloved ones have not 'go...

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 569 quotes

I believe in the immortality ...

I believe in the immortality of the soul because I have within me immortal longings.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

When indeed shall we learn th...

When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow people, regardless of race, color, or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brother- and sisterhood, 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 569 quotes

What do I consider a teacher ...

What do I consider a teacher should be? One who breathes life into knowledge so that it takes new form in progress and civilization.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

He who is content with what h...

He who is content with what has been done is an obstacle in the path of progress.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The human being is born with an incurable capacity for making the best of things.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

So long as I confine my activ...

So long as I confine my activities to social service and the blind, they compliment me extravagantly, calling me 'arch priestess of the sightless,' 'wonder woman,' and a 'modern miracle.' But when it comes to a discussion of poverty, and I maintain that it is the result of wrong economics-that the industrial system under which we live is at the root of much of the physical deafness and blindness in the world-that is a different matter!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Happiness is like the mountai...

Happiness is like the mountain summit. It is sometimes hidden by clouds, but we know it is there.
