Worse than being blind would b...

Worse than being blind would be to be able to see but not have any vision.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I can see in what you call the...

I can see in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

What could be worse than being...

What could be worse than being born without sight? Being born with sight and no vision.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The one resolution, which was ...

The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The mystery of language was re...

The mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that 'W-A-T-E-R' meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, joy, set it free.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Gullibility is the key to all ...

Gullibility is the key to all adventures. The greenhorn is the ultimate victor in everything; it is he who gets the most out of life.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Tolerance is the first principle of community; it is the spirit which conserves the best that all men think.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I have visited sweatshops, factories, and crowded slums. If I could not see it, I could smell it. The foundation of society is laid upon a basis of . . . individualism, conquest and exploitation . . . A social order such as this, built upon such wrong and basic principles, is bound to retard the development of all. The output of a cotton mill or a coal mine is considered of greater importance than the production of healthy, happy-hearted and free human beings. We, the people, are not free. Our democracy is but a name.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow.

Helen Keller 569 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 569 quotes

Avoiding danger is no safer in...

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I could never stay long enough...

I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

No loss by flood and lightning...

No loss by flood and lightning, no destruction of cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has destroyed.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

What if in my waking hours a s...

What if in my waking hours a sound should ring through the silent halls of hearing? ... Would the bow and string tension of life snap? Would the heart over weighted with sudden joy stop beating for very excess of happiness?
