Text Quotes
Speech is the birthright of every child. It is the deaf child’s one fair chance to keep in touch with his fellows (Helen Keller Quotes)
The worst thing in the world is not to be born blind, but to be born with sight, and yet have no vision (Helen Keller Quotes)
Better to be blind and see with your heart, than to have two good eyes and see nothing (Helen Keller Quotes)
I have never believed that my limitations were in any sense punishments or accidents. If I had held such a view, I could never have expected the strength to overcome them (Helen Keller Quotes)
I fall, I stand still... I trudge on. I gain a little... I get more eager and climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a victory (Helen Keller Quotes)
If we believe that the sun and moon hang in the sky for our delight, there will be joy upon the hills and gladness in the fields (Helen Keller Quotes)
I, for one, love strength, daring, fortitude. I do not want people to kill the fight in them; I want them to fight for right things (Helen Keller Quotes)
I do not like the world as it is; so I am trying to make it a little more as I want it (Helen Keller Quotes)
The highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the nations, have been optimists (Helen Keller Quotes)
Always make the most of every sense; glory in all the pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you (Helen Keller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Museums and art stores are also sources of pleasure and inspiration. Doubtless it will seem strange to many that the hand unaided by sight can feel action, sentiment, beauty in the cold marble; and yet it is true that I derive genuine pleasure from touching great works of art. As my finger tips trace line and curve, they discover the thought and emotion which the artist has portrayed (Helen Keller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
If I regarded my life from the point of view of the pessimist, I should be undone. I should seek in vain for the light that does not visit my eyes and the music that does not ring in my ears. I should beg night and day and never be satisfied. I should sit apart in awful solitude, a prey to fear and despair. But since I consider it a duty to myself and to others to be happy, I escape a misery worse than any physical deprivation (Helen Keller Quotes)
Happiness calls out responsive gladness in others. There is enough sadness in the world without yours... never doubt the excellence and permanence of what is yet to be. Join the great company of those who make the barren places of life fruitful with kindness (Helen Keller 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 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. Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. My life was without a past or future, and death a consummation devoutly to be wished. But a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hands that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped up with the rapture of living. I do not know the meaning of the darkness, but I have learned the overcoming of it (Helen Keller Quotes)
Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought! Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction! (Helen Keller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
One’s life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears; not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates (Helen Keller Quotes)
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail (Helen Keller Quotes)
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 (Helen Keller Quotes)
Your success and happiness lie in you. External conditions are the accidents of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring realities are love of service. Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our intelligence aglow. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulty (Helen Keller Quotes)
Usually they are quick to discover that I cannot see or hear... It is not training but love which impels them to break their silence about me with the thud of a tail rippling against my chair on gambols round the study, or news conveyed by expressive ear, nose, and paw. Often I yearn to give them speech, their motions are so eloquent with things they cannot say (Helen Keller Quotes)
Next to a leisurely walk I enjoy a spin on my tandem bicycle. It is splendid to feel the wind blowing in my face and the springy motion of my iron steed. The rapid rush through the air gives me a delicious sense of strength and buoyancy, and the exercise makes my pulse dance and my heart sing (Helen Keller Quotes)
If we spend the time we waste in sighing for the perfect golden fruit in fulfilling the conditions of its growth, happiness will come, must come. It is guaranteed in the very laws of the universe. If it involves some chastening and renunciation, well, the fruit will be all the sweeter for this touch of holiness (Helen Keller Quotes)
When I recollect the treasure of friendship that has been bestowed upon me I withdraw all charges against life. If much has been denied me, much, very much has been given. So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart I shall say that life is good (Helen Keller Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it (Helen Keller Quotes)
