Obedience is the gateway through which knowledge enters the mind.'

To be blind is bad, but worse is to have eyes and not see.

The greatest tragedy to befall a person is to have sight but lack vision.

Happiness does not come from without, it comes from within

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I am beginning to suspect all ...

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate & special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the suposition that every child is an idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him come and go freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself...

Helen Keller 569 quotes

We need limitations and tempta...

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.

Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind.

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!

Fear: the best way out is through.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I had once believed that we we...

I had once believed that we were all masters of our fate--that we could mold our lives into any form we pleased... I had overcome deafness and blindness sufficiently to be happy, and I supposed that anyone could come out victorious if he threw himself valiantly into life's struggle. But as I went more and more about the country I learned that I had spoken with assurance on a subject I knew little about... I learned that the power to rise in the world is not within the reach of everyone.

Thus I came up out of Egypt and stood before Sinai, and a power divine touched my spirit and gave it sight, so that I beheld many wonders. And from the sacred mountain I heard a voice which said, 'Knowledge is love and light and vision.

A bend in the road is not the end of the road Unless you fail to make the turn.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Be of good cheer. Do not think...

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.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Observers in the full enjoymen...

Observers in the full enjoyment of their bodily senses pity me, but it is because they do not see the golden chamber in my life where I dwell delighted; for, dark as my path may seem to them, I carry a magic light in my heart. Faith, the spiritual strong searchlight, illumines the way, and although sinister doubts lurk in the shadow, I walk unafraid towards the Enchanted Wood where the foliage is always green, where joy abides, where nightingales nest and sing, and where life and death are one in the Presence of the Lo

Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I hung about the dangerous frontier of 'guess,' avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Now, however, I see the folly of attempting to hitch one's wagon to a star with a harness that does not belong to it.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Rebuffed, but always perseveri...

Rebuffed, but always persevering; self-reproached, but ever regaining faith; undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.
