10 favourite quotes from Anne of Green Gables

The Anne of Green Gables series (both the books and tele-movies), have been a favourite of mine since I was a young girl. There are so many memorable quotes, and each one moves me for a different reason. Lucy Maud Montgomery had such a way with words, and they're still as relevant today, as they were when they were first written.
Here's a few of my favourites...

“It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.”
---------------------------------------------------
“It's not what the world holds for you. It's what you bring to it.”
---------------------------------------------------
"Folks that have brought up children know that there's no hard and fast method in the world that'll suit every child."
---------------------------------------------------
“But if you call me Anne, please call me Anne with an 'e'.”
(btw - I'm a Lisa Ann without and 'e'. Oh, how I wanted an 'e' like Anne.)
---------------------------------------------------
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find out there are so many of them in the world.”
---------------------------------------------------
"I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't."
---------------------------------------------------
“I'm not a bit changed--not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real ME--back here--is just the same.”
---------------------------------------------------
"And I promise I'll never do it again. That's the one good thing about me. I never do the same wrong thing twice."
---------------------------------------------------
"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"
---------------------------------------------------
I have to end this post with my favourite quote of all...the moment when Anne and Gilbert finally declare their love for each other. Oh, how I cry every time!

"I don't want diamond sunbursts, or marble halls. I just want you."
