Lucy Maud Montgomery
We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
...the sorrows God sent us brought comfort and strength with them, while the sorrows we brought on ourselves, through folly or wickedness, were by far the hardest to bear.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Don't you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
If you can't be cheerful, be as cheerful as you can.

No use in taking a cat's opinion of a dog.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
... we always love best the people who need us.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The body grows slowly and steadily but the soul grows by leaps and bounds. It may come to its full stature in an hour.
