“Go now and wash yourself first, for the sun will laugh at you if he sees how dirty you are.”

“Heidi loudly wailed, "Oh I want to go home. What the poor snowhopper will do without me? Grandmother is waiting for me everyday. Poor Thistlefinch gets blows if Peter gets no cheese, and I must see the sun again when he says good-night to the mountains. How the eagle would screech if he saw all the people here in Frankfurt.”

“Heidi came running in, "Grandfather can the sun still laugh at me? she asked”

“Dont grieve any more, see I am coming up with you everyday now, and if there is anything the matter, you can come to me.”

“God is good to all of us. He knows what we need better than we do. And just because he thinks it is better not to give you what you want right now doesn't mean he isn't answering you. You shall have what you ask for but not until the right time comes." - Grandmamma”

“God certainly knows of some happiness for us which He is going to bring out of the trouble, only we must have patience and not run away. And then all at once something happens and we see clearly ourselves that God has had some good thought in His mind all along; but because we cannot see things beforehand, and only know how dreadfully miserable we are, we think it is always going to be so.”

“If you have a sorrow that you cannot tell to anyone, you can go to our Father in Heaven.”
