“'Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,' grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. 'It's so dreadful to be poor!' sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.”
“That was a very happy breakfast, though they didn't get any of it; and when they went away, leaving comfort behind, I think there were not in all the city four merrier people than the hungry little girls who gave away their breakfasts and contented themselves with bread and milk on Christmas morning.”
“I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
“I want to do something splendid before I go into my castle—something heroic or wonderful that won't be forgotten after I'm dead.”
“Be worthy, love, and love will come.”
“There are many Beths in the world, shy and quiet, sitting in corners till needed, and living for others so cheerfully that no one sees the sacrifices till the little cricket on the hearth stops chirping.”
“Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.”
“Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well.”
