Lucy Maud Montgomery
I can just imagine myself sitting down at the head of the table and pouring out the tea, said Anne, shutting her eyes ecstatically. And asking Diana if she takes sugar! I know she doesn't but of course I'll ask her just as if I didn't know.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
God's in His heaven, alls right with the world', whispered Anne softly.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I know I haven't much sense or sobriety, but I've got what is ever so much better — the knack of making people like me.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
she was richer in those dreams than in realities for things seen pass away, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must get out all my ambitions and dust them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
never write a line you'd be ashamed to read at your own funeral.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It's not vanity to know your own good points. It would just be stupidity if you didn't It's only vanity when you get puffed up about them.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Nothing worth while is every easy come by.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
