The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. -- Helen Keller
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved. Helen Keller
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace. Helen Keller
One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. Helen Keller
When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. Helen Keller
Deaf and blind from infancy, Helen Keller played a leading role in most of the significant political, social, and cultural movements of the 20th century. Throughout her lifetime (1880-1968) she worked unceasingly to improve the lives of people who were blind and deaf. Helen's own approach to life can be summed up by her advice to a five-year-old blind child in 1932:
"Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face."
Read Helen Keller's autobiography, The Story of My Life, written when she was just 21 years old.
"The public must learn that the blind man is neither a genius nor a freak nor an idiot. He has a mind which can be educated, a hand which can be trained, ambitions which it is right for him to strive to realize, and it is the duty of the public to help him make the best of himself so that he can win light through work." -- Helen Keller
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been open for us." -- Helen Keller
