Every child born into the world is a new thought of God, an ever-fresh and radiant possibility.

Pictures made in childhood are painted in bright hues.

Lord, I do not ask that Thou shouldst give me wealth; only show me where it is, and I will attend to the rest.

Some folks mistakes all they see for all there is.

It is very funny, but you do not always have to see people to love them. Just think about it, and see if it isn't so.

Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, and sisters, aunts and cousins, but only one mother in the whole world.

To make my diary a little different I am going to call it a Thought Book ... I have thoughts that I never can use unlesss I write them down, for Aunt Miranda always says, Keep your thoughts to yourself.
