Johanna Spyri, Swiss writer, author of children's stories, best known for Heidi was born on this date in 1827. 10 quotes from her:
Saying good night to the mountains, the sun throws his most beautiful rays to them, that they may not forget him till the morning.
Flowers are made to bloom in the sun and not to be shut up in an apron.
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.
Anger makes us all stupid.
Go now and wash yourself first, for the sun will laugh at you if he sees how dirty you are.
Oh, I wish that God had not given me what I prayed for! It was not so good as I thought.
Many strange things happen in this world.
Let’s enjoy the beautiful things we can see, my dear, and not think about those we cannot.
Foresight is a virtue and averts many a misfortune.
Whoever has done a wrong deed and thinks that no one knows it, deceives himself.
