Oh, but Aunt Polly, Aunt Polly, you haven't left me any time at all just to- to live.

Be glad. Be good. Be brave.

One day it was about getting married that mother talked with me, and I said I was so glad that when you didn't like being married, or got tired of your husband, you could get Unmarried.

It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't 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!

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

It'll be just lovely for you to play -- it'll be so hard. And there's so much more fun when it is hard!
