“The real things haven’t changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder

Was that Laura Ingalls Wilder? It’s funny but I would have sworn that that quote came from Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of ‘Anne of Green Gables’, but I must be mistaken. Could you let me know in which book she wrote that?
Thanks!!
P.S. Love swissmiss!

The quote is apparently from a February 1947 letter from Wilder “to Children”: http://www.liwfrontiergirl.com/letter.html
