Laura Ingalls Wilder
Tact does for life just what lubricating oil does for machinery.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
There the wild animals wandered and fed as though they were in a pasture that stretched much farther than a man could see, and there were no settlers. Only Indians lived there.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Home is the nicest word there is.

All I have told is true, but it is not the whole truth.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Things and persons appear to us according to the light we throw upon them from our own minds. How unconsciously we judge others by the light that is within ourselves, condemning or approving them by our own conception of right and wrong, honor and dishonor! We show by our judgment just what the light within us is.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
