He brought toys to the children because they were little and helpless, and because he loved them.
L. Frank BaumI shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
L. Frank BaumI think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it. Those who turn sad faces toward the world find only sadness reflected. But a smile is reflected in the same way, and cheers and brightens our hearts. You think there is no pleasure to be had in life. That is because you are heartsick and-and tired, as you say. With one sad story ended you are afraid to begin another-a sequel-feeling it would be equally sad. But why should it be? Isn't the joy or sorrow equally divided in life?
L. Frank Baum
