I am just as deaf as I am bli...

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.

Security is mostly a supersti...

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!

The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

As selfishness and complaint ...

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

No matter how dull, or how me...

No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

We may have found a cure for ...

We may have found a cure for most evils; but we have found no remedy for the worst of them all, the apathy of human beings.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

It is for us to pray not for ...

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Many people know so little ab...

Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves - and find nothing! Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves either.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

I seldom think about my limit...

I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

A happy life consists not in ...

A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

There is no better way to tha...

There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Use your eyes as if tomorrow ...

Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. Hear the music of voices, the song of birds, the mighty strains of an orchestra as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow . . . Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Glory in all the facts of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

The living word awakened my s...

The living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free!

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Face your deficiencies and ac...

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Making a mistake is falling down; failure is not getting up again.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Hope sees the invisible, feel...

Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Self-culture has been loudly ...

Self-culture has been loudly and boastfully proclaimed as sufficient for all our ideals of perfection. But if we listen to the best men and women everywhere ... they will say that science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.

Helen Keller 569 quotes

Every optimist moves along wi...

Every optimist moves along with progress and hastens it, while every pessimist would keep the worlds at a standstill. The consequence of pessimism in the life of a nation is the same as in the life of the individual. Pessimism kills the instinct that urges men to struggle against poverty, ignorance and crime, and dries up all the fountains of joy in the world.
