It is so pleasant to learn about new things. Every day I find how little I know, but I do not feel discouraged since God has given me an eternity in which to learn more.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Relationships are like Rome -...

Relationships are like Rome -- difficult to start out, incredible during the prosperity of the 'golden age', and unbearable during the fall. Then, a new kingdom will come along and the whole process will repeat itself until you come across a kingdom like Egypt... that thrives, and continues to flourish. This kingdom will become your best friend, your soul mate, and your love.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

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

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The world is sown with good; but unless I turn my glad thoughts into practical living and till my own field. I cannot reap a kernel of the good.

Helen Keller 569 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 569 quotes

To keep our faces toward chance and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

Education should train the child to use his brains, to make for himself a place in the world and maintain his rights even when it seems that society would shove him into the scrap-heap.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet, gracious discourse of my book friends. They talk to me without embarrassment or awkwardness.

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

I learned that it is possible for us to create light, sound and order within us no matter what calamity befall us in the outer world.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

I believe humility is a virtue, but I prefer not to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

...our enjoyment of the great works of literature depends more upon the depth of our sympathy than upon our understanding.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The beginning of my life was ...

The beginning of my life was simple and much like every other little life. I came, I saw, I conquered, as the first baby in the family always does.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Poetry is the gate through which I enter the land of enchantment. Once inside the flaming wall, my limitations fall from me, and my spirit is free.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Sometimes, it is true, a sens...

Sometimes, it is true, a sense of isolation enfolds me like a cold mist as I sit alone and wait at life’s shut gate. Beyond there is light, and music, and sweet companionship; but I may not enter. Fate, silent, pitiless, bars the way…Silence sits immense upon my soul. Then comes hope with a smile and whispers, ‘there is joy is 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 569 quotes

When we complain of having to...

When we complain of having to do the same thing over and over, let us remember that God does not send new trees, strange flowers and different grasses every year. When the spring winds blow, they blow in the same way. In the same places the same dear blossoms lift up the same sweet faces, yet they never weary us. When it rains, it rains as it always has. Even so would the same tasks which fill our daily lives put on new meanings if we wrought them in the spirit of renewal from within--a spirit of growth and beauty.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

All truth goes through three ...

All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident. Facts are stubborn, and refusal to accept them does not avoid their inexorable effects-the tragic consequences are now upon us
