“Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”

“I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.”

“Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.”

“True friends are always together in spirit.”

“Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worthwhile.”

“Nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we remember it.”

“Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.'”

“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.”

“Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.”

“I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does.”

“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”

“Oh, it's delightful to have ambitions. I'm so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them -- that's the best of it.”

“All things great are wound up with all things little.”

“Twilight drops her curtain down, and pins it with a star.”

“That's the worst of growing up, and I'm beginning to realize it. The things you wanted so much when you were a child don't seem half so wonderful to you when you get them.”
