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

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

Heart, Eye, Two

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.

Hard Work, Heart, Doors

Burn brightly without burning out. Throw your heart over the fense and the rest will follow. Keep your face to the sunshine and you wont see the shadows

Things must be felt with the heart.

Long Distance Relationship, Valentine, Heart

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.

Memories, Heart, Life Is Good

Helen Keller (2000). “To Love this Life: Quotations”, p.33, American Foundation for the Blind

Doubts and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.

Motivational, Heart, Imagination

Helen Keller (2012). “The World I Live In and Optimism: A Collection of Essays”, p.89, Courier Corporation

The best things in life are not seen or heard ... but felt with the heart.

Heart, Things In Life, Handicaps

Great poetry needs no interpreter other than a responsive heart.

Heart, Needs, Great Poetry

The best Christmas gift of all is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another. Jesus is the reason for the season! From a little spark may burst a mighty flame. The only blind person at Christmastime is he who has not Christmas in his heart.

Christmas, Jesus, Heart

Some people are foolish enough to imagine that wealth and power and fame satisfy our hearts: but they never do, unless they are used to create and distribute happiness in the world.

Heart, People, World

Helen Keller (2000). “To Love this Life: Quotations”, p.28, American Foundation for the Blind

The heart of a friend gives out sufficient light for us in the dark to rise by.

Heart, Dark, Light

Helen Keller (2000). “To Love this Life: Quotations”, p.32, American Foundation for the Blind

Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual; not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts.

Spring, Heart, Sea

Helen Keller (2010). “The World I Live In and Optimism: A Collection of Essays”, p.93, Courier Corporation

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.

Love, Wall, Heart

Helen Keller (2000). “To Love this Life: Quotations”, p.3, American Foundation for the Blind

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.

Inspirational, Healing, Heart

Helen Keller (2016). “The Story of My Life”, p.77, Om Books International

The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me. The touch of some hands is an impertinence. I have met people so empty of joy, that when I clasped their frosty finger-tips, it seemed as if I were shaking hands with a northeast storm. Others there are whose hands have sunbeams in them, so that their grasp warms my heart. It may be only the clinging touch of a child's hand; but there is as much potential sunshine in it for me as there is in a loving glance for others. A hearty handshake or a friendly letter gives me genuine pleasure.

Children, Heart, Sunshine

Helen Keller (2016). “The Story of My Life”, p.81, Om Books International

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.

Inspirational, Heart, Knowledge

Helen Keller (2012). “The Story of My Life”, p.15, Courier Corporation

I demand that the world be good, and lo, it obeys. I proclaim the world good, and facts range themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly true. To what good I open the doors of my being, and jealously shut them against what is bad. Such is the force of this beautiful and willful conviction, it carries itself in the face of all opposition. I am never discouraged by absence of good. I never can be argued into hopelessness. Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend.

Beautiful, Heart, Doors

Helen Keller (1903). “Optimism, My Key of Life”

I have an unshakable belief that mankind's higher nature is on the whole still dormant. The greatest souls reveal excellencies of mind and heart which their lesser fellows possess-hidden, it is true, but there all the same.

Heart, Soul, Mind

Helen Keller (1957). “The Open Door”, Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

Heart, Sometimes, Pleasure

Helen Keller (1957). “The Open Door”, Garden City, N.Y. : Doubleday

Rebuffed, but always persevering; self-reproached, but ever regaining faith; undaunted, tenacious, the heart of man labors toward immeasurably distant goals.

Heart, Men, Self

Helen Keller (1967). “Helen Keller, her Socialist years: writings and speeches”

What if in my waking hours a sound should ring through the silent halls of hearing? ... Would the bow and string tension of life snap? Would the heart over weighted with sudden joy stop beating for very excess of happiness?

Happiness, Heart, Joy

Helen Keller, Annie Sullivan (1905). “The Story of My Life”

We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.

Heart, Acceptance, Thinking

HELEN KELLER (1960). “MY RELIGION”

Optimism, then, is a fact within my own heart. But as I look out upon life, my heart meets no contradiction. The outward world justifies my inward universe of good.

Heart, Optimism, Facts

Helen Keller (2012). “Optimism”, p.7, Simon and Schuster

Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.

Uplifting, Morning, Heart

Helen Keller (2007). “My Religion”, p.141, Book Tree

I sometimes wonder if the hand is not more sensitive to the beauties of sculpture than the eye. I should think the wonderful rhythmical flow of lines and curves could be more subtly felt than seen. Be this as it may, I know that I can feel the heart-throbs of the ancient Greeks in their marble gods and goddesses.

God, Heart, Eye

Helen Keller (2012). “The Story of My Life”, p.81, Courier Corporation
