It’s not what the world holds for you. It’s what you bring to it.

Lucy Maud Montgomery

LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY

Look Pleasure World
It’s so hard to get up again—although of course the harder it is the more satisfaction you have when you do get up, haven’t you?

We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won, but exact their dues of work and self denial, anxiety and discouragement.
LUCY MAUD MONTGOMERY
