It's great to be great, but it's great to be human.

Maples are such sociable trees ... They're always rustling and whispering to you.

I know you're a fool, Jim Hardy, but for heaven's sake pretend you're not for five minutes.

Nothing mattered much to me for a time there, after you told me you could never love me, Anne. There was nobody else -- there never could be anybody else for me but you. I've loved you ever since that day you broke your slate over my head in school.

Isn't it terrible the way some unworthy folks are loved, while others that deserve it far more, you'd think, never get much affection?

Nobody can keep on being angry if she looks into the heart of a pansy for a little while.

When you've learned to laugh at the things that should be laughed at, and not to laugh at those that shouldn't, you've got wisdom and understanding. -Aunt Jimsie
