“Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come.”
“...there was a smile on her lips and peace in her heart. She had looked her duty courageously in the face and found it a friend – as duty ever is when we meet it frankly.” -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
