“I want to go about like the light-footed goats.”
Johanna Spyri, Heidi

“I'll always say my prayers... and if God doesn't answer them at once I shall know it's because He's planning something better for me.”
Johanna Spyri, Heidi

“God certainly knows of some happiness for us which He is going to bring out of the trouble, only we must have patience and not run away. And then all at once something happens and we see clearly ourselves that God has had some good thought in His mind all along; but because we cannot see things beforehand, and only know how dreadfully miserable we are, we think it is always going to be so.”
Johanna Spyri, Heidi
