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.

If enough people think of a thing and work hard enough at it, I guess it's pretty nearly bound to happen, wind and weather permitting.
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

Laura Ingalls Wilder

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
A good laugh overcomes more difficulties and dissipates more dark clouds than any other one thing.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Far worst of all, the fever had settled in Mary's eyes, and Mary was blind.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
We'd never get anything fixed to suit us if we waited for things to suit us before we started.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
It does not so much matter what happens. It is what one does when it happens that really counts.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
These times are too progressive. Everything has changed too fast. Railroads and telegraphs and kerosene and coal stoves -- they're good to have but the trouble is, folks get to depend on 'em.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Money hasn't any value of its own it represents the stored up energy of men and women and is really just someone's promise to pay a certain amount of that energy.
