More quotes by Lucy Maud Montgomery
In everything you do aim to excel for what is worth doing is worth doing well
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Without shedding of blood there is no anything. Everything, it seems to me, has to be purchased by selfsacrifice. Our race has marked every step of its painful ascent with blood. And now torrents of it must flow again.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
You are the only person who loves me in the world, said Elizabeth. When you talk to me I smell violets.

You may tire of reality but you never tire of dreams.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've a pocket full of dreams to sell, said Teddy, whimsically,... What d'ye lack? What d'ye lack? A dream of success--a dream of adventure--a dream of the sea--a dream of the woodland--any kind of a dream you want at reasonable prices, including one or two unique little nightmares. What will you give me for a dream?
Lucy Maud Montgomery
It was rapture enough just to sit there beside him in silence, alone in the summer night in the white splendor of moonshine, with the wind blowing down on them out of the pine woods.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
There are many worse friends than the soft, silent, furry, cat-folk.
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery
I've done my best, and I begin to understand what is meant by 'the joy of strife'. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend - as duty ever is when we meet it frankly.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
I must be getting old ... People are beginning to tell me I look so young. They never tell you that when you are young.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
