Helen Keller (Midstream: My Later Life, 1937)
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.

A man can't make a place for himself in the sun if he keeps taking refuge under the family tree.

Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn whatever state I am in, therin to be content.
Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind; it

Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid

transcend.

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

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

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 opened for us.

look out upon life, my heart meets no contradiction. The outward world

perfect golden fruit in fulfilling the conditions of its growth,
happiness will come, must come.

Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be
strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

The million little things that drop into your
hands, The small opportunities each day brings, He leaves us free to use
or abuse, And goes unchanging along His silent way.

We differ, blind and seeing, one from another, not
in our senses, but in the use we make of them, in the imagination and
courage with which we seek wisdom beyond the senses.
Helen Keller (The Five-sensed World, 1910)
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.

experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than

It is wonderful how much time good people spend
fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy
loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui.
Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and
ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in
disaster. There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
Let pessimism once take hold of the mind, and life
is all topsy-turvy, all vanity and vexation of spirit. There is no cure
for individual or social disorder, except in forgetfulness and
annihilation.
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
No loss by flood and lightening, no destruction of
cities and temples by the hostile forces of nature, has deprived man of
so many noble lives and impulses as those which his intolerance has
destroyed.
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
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 (Midstream: My Later Life, 1937)
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 (The Open Door, 1957)
To know the history of philosophy is to know that
the highest thinkers of the ages, the seers of the tribes and the
nations, have been optimists. The growth of philosophy is the story of
man's spiritual life.
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
Instead of comparing our lot with that of those
who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of
the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among
the privileged.
Helen Keller (The Open Door, 1957)
Once I knew only darkness and stillness... my life
was without past or future... but a little word from the fingers of
another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart
leaped to the rapture of living.
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does
that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though
not avowed, autocrats. We choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Helen Keller (Letter published in the Manchester Advertiser, 1911)
Literature is my Utopia. Here I am not
disenfranchised. No barrier of the senses shuts me out from the sweet,
gracious discourses of my book friends. They talk to me without
embarrassment or awkwardness.
Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
The marvelous richness of human experience would
lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to
overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were
no dark valleys to traverse.
Helen Keller (Quoted in Light in My Darkness, 1994)
With every friend I love who has been taken into
the brown bosom of the earth a part of me has been buried there; but
their contribution to my being of happiness, strength and understanding
remains to sustain me in an altered world.
Helen Keller (The Open Door, 1957)
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. A
sunset, a mountain bathed in moonlight, the ocean in calm and in storm -
we see these, love their beauty, hold the vision to our hearts. All
that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Helen Keller (The Open Door, 1957)
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 (Address to the American Association to Promote the Teaching of Speech to the Deaf, 1896)
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 (Optimism, 1903)
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 (Optimism, 1903)
For, after all, every one who wishes to gain true
knowledge must climb the Hill Difficulty alone, and since there is no
royal road to the summit, I must zigzag it in my own way. I slip back
many times, I fall, I stand still, I run against the edge of hidden
obstacles, I lose my temper and find it again and keep it better, I
trudge on, I gain a little, I feel encouraged, I get more eager and
climb higher and begin to see the widening horizon. Every struggle is a
victory. One more effort and I reach the luminous cloud, the blue depths
of the sky, the uplands of my desire.
Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
The one I felt and still feel most is lack of
time. I used to have time to think, to reflect, my mind and I. We would
sit together of an evening and listen to the inner melodies of the
spirit, which one hears only in leisure moments when the words of some
loved poet touch a deep, sweet chord in the soul that until then had
been silent. But in college there is no time to commune with one's
thoughts. One goes to college to learn, it seems, not to think. When one
enters the portals of learning, one leaves the dearest pleasures -
solitude, books and imagination - outside with the whispering pines. I
suppose I ought to find some comfort in the thought that I am laying up
treasures for future enjoyment, but I am improvident enough to prefer
present joy to hoarding riches against a rainy day.
Helen Keller (The Story of My Life, 1903)
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 knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope and joy.
Once I fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me in. Now I
rejoice in the consciousness that I can think, act and attain heaven. My
life was without past or future; death, the pessimist would say, "a
consummation devoutly to be wished." But a little word from the fingers
of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart
leaped to the rapture of living. Night fled before the day of thought,
and love and joy and hope came up in a passion of obedience to
knowledge. Can anyone who escaped such captivity, who has felt the
thrill and glory of freedom, be a pessimist?
Helen Keller (Optimism, 1903)
