More quotes by Anne Morrow Lindbergh
God often used bitter experiences to make us better. Gold can be a helpful servant, but a cruel master.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman's normal occupations in general run counter to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Flowers always have it - poise, completion, fulfillment, perfection . . .
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Only with winter-patience can we bring the deep-desired, long-awaited Spring.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
I am beginning to respect the apathetic days. Perhaps they're a necessary pause: better to give in to them than to fight them at your desk hopelessly then you lose both the day and your self-respect. Treat them as physical phenomena -- casually -- and obey them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Woman must come of age by herself... She must find her true center alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
People talk about love as if it were something you could give, like an armful of flowers.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
You can’t just write and write and put things in a drawer. They wither without the warm sun of someone else’s appreciation.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For it is only framed in space that beauty blooms.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Certain environments, certain modes of life, and certain rules of conduct are more conducive to inner and outer harmony than others. There are, in fact, certain roads that one may follow. Simplification is one of them.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
No American can understand the need for time -- that is, simply space to breathe. If you have ten minutes to spare you should jam that full instead of leaving it -- as space around your next ten minutes. How can anything ripen without those 'empty' ten minutes?
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Purposeful giving is not as apt to deplete one's resources it belongs to that natural order of giving that seems to renew itself even in the act of depletion.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
What a commentary on our civilization, when being alone is considered suspect when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it—like a secret vice!
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
If it is a woman's function to give, she must be replenished, too.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
To mention a loved object, a person, or a place to someone else is to invest that object with reality.
