Persons appear to us according to the light we throw upon them from our own minds. -Laura Ingalls Wilder, author (1867-1957)

There is no comfort anywhere for anyone who dreads to go home.

Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens.

[On dishonesty:] If there were a cry of 'stop thief!' we would all stand still.

The uplift of a fearless heart will help us over barriers.

We are the heirs of the ages; but the estate is entailed, as large estates frequently are, so that while we inherit the earth, the great round world which is God's footstool, we have only the use of it while we live and must pass it on to those come after us. We hold the property in trust and have no right to injure it or to lessen its value. To do so is dishonest, stealing from our heirs their inheritance.

Suffering passes, while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it.
