162 " Dear old world. You are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in you - Anne Shirley "
163 " The things you wanted so much when you were a child don't seem half so wonderful to you when you get them "
164 " I never knew before that religion was such a cheerful thing. I always thought it was kind of melancholy, but Mrs. Allan's isn't, and I'd like to be a Christian if I could be one like her. "
165 " Marilla loved the [more grown up] girl as much as she had loved the child, but she was conscious of a queer sorrowful sense of loss. "
166 " My future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I'm going to believe that the best does. "
167 " I believe in a girl being fitted to earn her own living whether she ever has to or not. You’ll "
168 " Young men are all very well in their place, but it doesn’t do to drag them into everything, does it? Diana and I are thinking seriously of promising each other that we will never marry but be nice old maids and live together forever "

172 " You know there are some people, like Matthew and Mrs. Allen, that you can love right off without any trouble. And there are others, like Mrs. Lynde, that you have to try very hard to love. You know you ought to love them because they know so much and are such active workers in the church, but you have to keep reminding yourself of it all the time or else you forget. "
173 " Anyhow, we've decided on the experiment and goodness only knows what will come of it. "
174 " Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? "
175 " Mrs Lynde says, "Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed." But I think it would be worse to expect nothing than to be disappointed. "
176 " I always say good night to the things I love, just as I would to people. "
177 " Don't give up all your romance Anne, a little of it is a good thing - not too much of course-but keep a little of it - Matthew Cuthbert "
178 " God is in His heaven. All is right in the world. "
179 " I ought to grow up successfully, and I'm sure it will be my own fault if I don't. I feel it's a great responsibility because I have only one chance. If I don't grow up right I can't go back and begin over again. - Anne Shirley "
180 " Looking forward to things is half the pleasure of them. You mayn't get the things themselves but nothing can prevent you from having the fun of looking forward to them. - Anne Shirley "
