Kate Douglas Wiggin Quotes

When, all at once, you find you have something precious you only dimly suspected was to be yours, you almost wish it hadn’t come so soon Picture Quote #1

There are some who possess the magic touch, the infectious spirit of enthusiasm; who have the same effect as a beautiful morning that never reaches noon. Under this spell one’s mind is braced, one’s spirit recreated; one is ready for any adventure, even if it only be the doing of the next distasteful task light-heartedly Picture Quote #1

Father doesn’t think very sudden, but he thinks awful strong Picture Quote #1

Some folks mistakes all they see for all there is Picture Quote #1

Pictures made in childhood are painted in bright hues Picture Quote #1

To let blessed babies go dangling and dawdling without names, for months and months, was enough to ruin them for life Picture Quote #1

There are certain narrow, umimaginative, and autocratic old people who seem to call out the most mischievous and sometimes the worst traits in children Picture Quote #1

The soul grows into lovely habits as easily as into ugly ones, and the moment a life begins to blossom into beautiful words and deeds, that moment a new standard of conduct is established, and your eager neighbors look to you for a continuous manifestation of the good cheer, the sympathy, the ready wit, the comradeship, or the inspiration, you once showed yourself capable of. Bear figs for a season or two, and the world outside the orchard is very unwilling you should bear thistles Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
