Laura Ingalls Wilder
The enormous lake stretched flat and smooth and white all the way to the edge of the gray sky. Wagon tracks went away across it, so far that you could not see where they went they ended in nothing at all.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Why should we need extra time in which to enjoy ourselves? If we expect to enjoy our life, we will have to learn to be joyful in all of it, not just at stated intervals when we can get time or when we have nothing else to do.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
No rich man can walk through the eye of a needle.
