“The sweetest pleasures are those which are hardest to be won.”
“Those blessings are sweetest that are won with prayer and worn with thanks.”
“Sometimes the small pleasures in life are the sweetest.”
“Sometimes, the hardest thing to wear is your won skin.”
“The sweetest pleasure arises from difficulties overcome.”
“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
