I eat till, honest, I felt every button on all my clo'es. The folks where we were stayin' were the old-fashioned hospitable kind they didn't let you off till your jaws struck work and wouldn't wag no more.

More quotes by Laura E. Richards
I would rather read poetry than eat my dinner any day. It has been so all my life.
Laura E. Richards
I do not believe in confining children to things they understand. They want, and they need, the thing they do not understand.
Laura E. Richards
Give the child good books, then let it alone! Don't plough and harrow its brain, or stretch it on Procrustes-beds of standardization, simplification, and what not!
Laura E. Richards
We know our neighbors - so far as we have the right to know them. We hear of their joys and their sorrows, and hasten to make them ours so far as we may. Life in a small town is like a layer cake. One gets the whole of it, frosted top, lemon filling and all.
Laura E. Richards
