My relationship with "Pollyanna" is a very personal one, because Pollyanna got me through my childhood.

I long ago discovered that you can't TELL about Pollyanna. The minute you try to, she sounds priggish and preachy, and--impossible. Yet you and I know she is anything but that.

Just breathing isn't living!

I love different folks.

... there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.

I should think you could be gladder on Monday mornin' than any other day in the week, because 'twould be a whole week before you'd have another one!

Of course things you don't know about are always nicer'n things you do, same as the pertater on 'tother side of the plate is always the biggest.
