Q is for quotes…

April 19, 2014 Claire Annette Noland Leave a Comment

QI am participating the the Blogging from A to Z challenge and have made it all the way to Q!

 

 

There is a lot of wisdom in children’s books. I collect quotes from my favorites. I think of them as little life lessons. Here are a few I’d like to share:

 

 

So many things are possible just as long as you don’t know they’re impossible,The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster

I think I can. I think I can. I think I can. I know I can.      -The Little Engine that Could, Watty Piper 1930

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.   -The Lion and the Mouse, Aesoplion

 

 

 

 

You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.  -Charlotte’s Web, E.B. White 1952charlotte

 

 

 

 

 

As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.  -Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne 1926pooh

 

 

 

 

 

Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? -Anne of Green Gables, L.M. Montgomery 1908anne

 

 

His mother saw that he was not lonesome, and because she was an understanding mother, even though she was a cow, she let him just sit there and be happy. The Story of Ferdinand, Munro Leaf 1938

Do you have any favorite “words of wisdom” quotes from children’s books?
