Helen Keller
Helen Adams Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in 1880. A severe illness in infancy left her deprived of sight, hearing, and the ability to speak. Her life represents one of the most extraordinary examples of a person who was able to transcend her physical handicaps— accomplishing more with her impairments than many do in their lifetimes.

Through the constant and patient instruction of Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller not only learned to read, write, and speak but went on to graduate cum laude from Radcliffe College in 1904.


In addition to writing several articles, books, and biographies and cofounding the American Civil Liberties Union, she was active on the staff of the American Foundation for the Blind and the American Foundation for the Overseas Blind.

She also lectured in over twenty- five countries and received several awards of great distinction. Helen Keller’s courage, faith, and optimism in the face of such overwhelming disabilities had a profound effect on all she touched. Her tremendous accomplishments stand as a symbol of human potential. Here are our Top 32 Inspiring Helen Keller Quotes that will inspire you.
