“A farmer depends on himself, and the land and the weather. If you're a farmer, you raise what you eat, you raise what you wear, and you keep warm with wood out of your own timber. You work hard, but you work as you please, and no man can tell you to go or come. You'll be free and independent, son, on a farm.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder, Farmer Boy

“We start learning the minute we're born, Laura. And if we're wise, we don't stop until the Lord calls us home.”
― Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie

“Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry,
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
These cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
