victory littles looks
I have learned to look upon each little hindrance as a jest and each great one as a foreshadowing of victory.
good sure
That is one good thing about this world. . .there are always sure to be more springs.
faith prayer blue
Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer.

It only seems as if you're doing something when you worry.
good
That is one good thing about this world... there are always sure to be more springs.

sweet heart curves
Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, “You are sweet,” and slipped it under the curve of Anne’s arm. Whereupon Anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position without deigning to bestow a glance on Gilbert.
hair people red
You'd find it easier to be bad than good if you had red hair," said Anne reproachfully. "People who haven't red hair don't know what trouble is.
together may praying
We are both going to pray that we may live together all our lives and die the same day.
healthy
Why is it that the nicest things never are healthy?
grandchildren often-can awkward
She asked me what made me do such a thing. That is an awkward question because I often can't tell what makes me do things. Sometimes I do them just to find out what I feel like doing them. And sometimes I do them because I want to have some exciting things to tell my grandchildren.
