I 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, Aesop
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. -Charlotte’s Web, E.B. White 1952
As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen. -Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne 1926
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 1908
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
You must have a garden, wherever you are. -Sarah Plain and Tall, Patricia MacLachlan 1985
You must do something to make the world more beautiful. -Miss Rumphius, Barbara Cooney 1982
And, my very favorite:
The whole world is full of things, and somebody has to look for them. -Pippi Longstocking, Astrid Lindgren 1950
Do you have any favorite “words of wisdom” quotes from children’s books?
