“Human minds are more full of mysteries than any written book and more changeable than the cloud shapes in the air.”

“…he stood behind her, tall and pale, like the ghost of his former self…”

“(E)very genuine act or word, no matter how trifling it seems, leaves a sweet and strengthening influence behind”

“Jo's eyes sparkled, for it's always pleasant to be believed in; and a friend's praise is always sweeter than a dozen newspaper puffs.”

“…for action is always easier than quiet waiting.”
