More quotes by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Never bet your money on another man's game.
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
All I have told is true, but it is not the whole truth.

Laura Ingalls Wilder
All those golden autumn days the sky was full of wings. Wings beating low over the blue water of Silver Lake, wings beating high in the blue air far above it . . . bearing them all away to the green fields in the South.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
The true way to live is to enjoy every moment as it passes, and surely it is in the everyday things around us that the beauty of life lies.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Far worst of all, the fever had settled in Mary's eyes, and Mary was blind.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Home is the nicest word there is.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful to make the most of what we have to be happy with simple pleasures and have courage when things go wrong.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
There is no comfort anywhere for anyone who dreads to go home.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Tact does for life just what lubricating oil does for machinery.
