Frances Hodgson Burnett said this quote

If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that—warm things, kind things, sweet things—help and comfort and laughter—and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts- just mere thoughts- are as powerful as electric batteries- as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got you in you may never get over it as long as you live.

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.

~ Frances Hodgson Burnett

I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must write not outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden.
