  • Education should train the child to use his brains, to make for himself a place in the world and maintain his rights even when it seems that society would shove him into the scrap-heap.

    Helen Keller (2000). “To Love this Life: Quotations”, p.42, American Foundation for the Blind
  • A simple, childlike faith in a Divine Friend solves all the problems that come to us by land or sea

    Helen Keller (2007). “My Religion”, p.185, Book Tree
  • For years to come the debris of a convulsed world will beset our steps. It will require a purpose stronger than any man and worthy of all men to calm and inspirit us. A sane society whose riches are happy children, men and women, beautiful with peace and creative activity, is not going to be ordained for us. We must make it ourselves.

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

    Helen Keller (2016). “The Story of My Life”, p.81, Om Books International
  • I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily.

    "The Story of My Life".
  • What induces a child to learn but his delight in knowing?

    Helen Keller (2007). “My Religion”, p.170, Book Tree
  • Every child has a right to be well-born, well-nurtured and well-taught, and only the freedom of woman can guarantee him this right.

  • A child must feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment before he takes with a will to the tasks distasteful to him and resolves to dance his way through a dull routine of textbooks.

    Helen Keller (2016). “The Story of My Life”, p.26, Om Books International
  • Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others' lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare.

    Helen Keller (2003). “The Story of My Life: The Restored Edition”, p.81, Modern Library
  • 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 (1920). “Out of the Dark: Essays, Lectures, and Addresses on Physical and Social Vision”
  • 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.

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