Famous quotes by lucy larcom:
“It is a conquest when we can lift ourselves above the annoyances of circumstances over which we have no control; but it is a greater victory when we can make those circumstances our helpers,—when we can appreciate the good there is in them. It has often seemed to me as if Life stood beside me, looking me in the face, and saying, ‘Child, you must learn to like me in the form in which you see me, before I can offer myself to you in any other aspect.’”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
“We might all place ourselves in one of two ranks—the women who do something, and the women who do nothing; the first being of course the only creditable place to occupy.”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)
