“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”

“I ask not for any crown  
But that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.”

“The power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely.”

“A faithful friend is a strong defense;
And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.”

“I want to do something splendid…
Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…
I think I shall write books.”
