Sometimes I think God is trying to test me, both now and in the future. I'll have to become a good person on my own, without anyone to serve as a model or advise me, but it'll make me stronger in the end.
God never deserted our people. Right through the ages there were Jews. Through the ages they suffered, but it also made us strong.
Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
The weak fall, but the strong will remain and never go under!
Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong.
The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever
Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.
A quiet conscience makes one strong!
I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains
Mrs. Van Daan's grizzling is absolutely unbearable; now she can't any longer drive us crazy over the invasion, she nags us the whole day long about the bad weather. It really would be nice to dump her in a bucket of cold water and put her up in the loft.
If I read a book that impresses me, I have to take myself firmly in hand before I mix with other people; otherwise they would think my mind rather queer.
Who would ever think that so much can go on in the soul of a young girl?
I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are still truly good at heart,
I do my best to please everybody, far more than they'd ever guess. I try to laugh it all off, because I don't want to let them see my trouble.
