â Donât try to make me grow up before my time. â
â Love is a great beautifier. â
â I never wanted to go away, and the hard part now is leaving you all. â
â Iâm not afraid, but it seems as if I should be homesick for you even in heaven. â
â If I didnât care about doing right and didnât feel uncomfortable doing wrong, I should get on capitally. â
â When we make little sacrifices we like to have them appreciated, at least. â
â Donât mind me. Iâm as happy as a cricket here. â
â You donât need scores of suitors. You need only one, if heâs the right one. â
â Love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride. â
â I am lonely, sometimes, but I dare say itâs good for me. â
â When you feel discontented, think over your blessings, and be grateful. â
â Let us be elegant or die! â
â Hearts, like flowers, cannot be rudely handled, but must open naturally. â
â I do think that families are the most beautiful things in all the world! â
â Be worthy love, and love will come. â
â Oh, my girls, however long you may live, I never can wish you a greater happiness than this! â
â The sincere wish to be good is half the battle. â
â The humblest tasks get beautified if loving hands do them. â
â I want to do something splendid before I go into my castleâsomething heroic, or wonderfulâthat wonât be forgotten after Iâm dead. â
â I think I shall write books, and get rich and famous; that would suit me, so that is my favorite dream. â
â Donât cry so bitterly, but remember this day, and resolve with all your soul that you will never know another like it. â
â Iâd rather take coffee than compliments just now. â
â Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds. â
â I donât like to doze by the fire. â
â I like adventures, and Iâm going to find some. â
â I like good strong words that mean something. â
â Because they are mean is no reason why I should be. â
â I hate such things, and though I think Iâve a right to be hurt, I donât intend to show it. â
â Conceit spoils the finest genius. â
â Watch and pray, dear, never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault. â
â I am angry nearly every day of my life. â
â Iâm not afraid of storms, for Iâm learning how to sail my ship. â
â For love casts out fear, and gratitude can conquer pride. â
â I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them. â
â I make so many beginnings there never will be an end. â
â Some people seemed to get all sunshine, and some all shadow. â
â I donât pretend to be wise, but I am observing, and I see a great deal more than youâd imagine. â
â Iâm interested in other peopleâs experiences and inconsistencies, and, though I canât explain, I remember and use them for my own benefit. â
â Iâm not like the rest of you; I never made any plans about what Iâd do when I grew up. â
â I never thought of being married. â
â I wish I had no heart, it aches so. â
â Wouldnât it be fun if all the castles in the air which we make could come true and we could live in them? â
â Youâre an angel! How shall I ever thank you? â
â I have nothing to give but my heart so full and these empty hands. â
â Take some books and read; thatâs an immense help; and books are always good company if you have the right sort. â
â Life and love are very precious when both are in full bloom. â
â I could have been a great many things. â
â Talent isnât genius, and no amount of energy can make it so. â
â I want to be great, or nothing. â
â If we are all alive ten years hence, letâs meet, and see how many of us have got our wishes, or how much nearer we are then than now. â
â You have grown abominably lazy, and you like gossip, and waste time on frivolous things. â
â I hate ordinary people! â
â Now and then, in this workaday world, things do happen in the delightful storybook fashion, and what a comfort that is. â
â You are like a chestnut burr, prickly outside, but silky-soft within, and a sweet kernel, if one can only get at it. â
â Love will make you show your heart someday, and then the rough burr will fall off. â
â Weâll all grow up, no pretending we wonât. â
â If I didnât care about doing right and didnât feel uncomfortable doing wrong, I should get on capitally. â
â I canât help seeing that you are very lonely, and sometimes there is a hungry look in your eyes that goes to my heart. â
â Love covers a multitude of sins. â
â It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women. â
â But, like all happiness, it did not last long. â
â I do think that families are the most beautiful things in all the world! â
â How happy and good weâd be, if we had no worries! â
â I think we are all hopelessly flawed. â
â Whereâs the use of looking nice, when no one sees me but those cross midgets, and no one cares whether Iâm pretty or not? â
â Nothing remained but loneliness and grief. â
â I donât think secrets agree with me, I feel rumpled up in mind since you told me that. â
â Nothing seemed impossible in the beginning. â
