“It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh - I really think that requires spirit. It's the kind of character that I am going to develop. I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which I must play as skillfully and fairly as I can. If I lose, I am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh - also if I win.” IfsThinkingKindI CanPlayCharacterBigsFacesLife IsSpiritGamesWinningLosesLaughingTroubleTragedyCrisisShouldersCrushPettyHazardsTroubles In Life Book:Daddy-Long-Legs Source: Daddy-Long-Legs

If you have, I don't need to explain; if you haven't, I can't explain.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWorldNeedsBelieveWellsI CanTwoWholeSeemsBeautifulHateMissingHavensHumourEmptyI HateDon't BelieveSensesWhole WorldMoonlightOh Well Author:Jean Webster
