Humor is the spiciest condiment in the feast of existence. Laugh at your mistakes but learn from them, joke over your troubles but gather strength from them, make a jest of your difficulties but overcome them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

I must get out all my ambitions and dust them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I'd like to add some beauty to life, said Anne dreamily. I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more... though I know that IS the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
That is one good thing about this world - there are always sure to be more springs.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing mattered much to me for a time there, after you told me you could never love me, Anne. There was nobody else -- there never could be anybody else for me but you. I've loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Satirize wickedness if you must--but pity weakness.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's so hard to get up again—although of course the harder it is the more satisfaction you have when you do get up, haven't you?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
