Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's bad enough to feel insignificant, but it's unbearable to have it grained into your soul that you will never, can never, be anything but insignificant.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
God's in His heaven, alls right with the world', whispered Anne softly.
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
Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Their happiness was in each others keeping, and both were unafraid.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It is never quite safe to think we have done with life. When we imagine we have finished our story fate has a trick of turning the page and showing us yet another chapter.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
The greatest happiness is to sneeze when you want to.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There be three gentle and goodlie things, To be here, To be together, And to think well of one another.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
