Riches can all be lost, but that happiness in your own heart can only be veiled, and it will bring you happiness again, as long as you live.
Anne Frank
Image
Don't condemn me, remember rather that sometimes I, too, can reach the bursting point.
Anne Frank
Image
I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.
Anne Frank
Image
I had to hold my head up high and put a bold face on things, but the thoughts keep coming anyways.
Anne Frank
Image
Whoever is happy will make others happy.
Anne Frank
Image
I hid myself within myself ... and quietly wrote down all my joys, sorrows and contempt in my diary.
Anne Frank
Image
I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they're sincere?
Anne Frank
Image
Yes, there is no doubt that paper is patient and as I don't intend to show this cardboard-covered notebook, bearing the proud name of diary, to anyone, unless I find a real friend, boy or girl, probably nobody cares. And now I come to the root of the matter, the reason for my starting a diary: it is that I have no such real friend.

One gets on better in life if one is not over modest.
Anne Frank
Image
I... keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if... if only there were no other people in the world.
Anne Frank
Image
This week I've been reading a lot and doing little work. That's the way things ought to be. That's surely the road to success.
Anne Frank
Image
I want to write, but more than that, I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart.
Anne Frank
Image
I don't think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains....My advice is: Go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine, go out and try to recapture happiness in yourself and in God. Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you and be happy!
Anne Frank
Image
An empty day, though clear and bright, Is just as dark as any night.
Anne Frank
Image
I have often been downcast, but never in despair.
Anne Frank
Image
If the truth is told, things are just as bad as you yourself care to make them.
Anne Frank
Image
The Annex is an ideal place to hide in. It may be damp and lopsided, but there's probably not a more comfortable hiding place in all of Amsterdam. No, in all of Holland.
Anne Frank
Image
I can shake off everything as I write my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.
Anne Frank
Image
Not being able to go outside upsets me more than I can say, and I’m terrified our hiding place will be discovered and that we’ll be shot.
Anne Frank

Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
