Anne Frank

Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (1929–1945) was a German-born Jewish girl from the city of Frankfurt. She gained international fame posthumously following the publication of her diary which documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Anne Frank Day was celebrated June 12th.. to belatedly join in the celebration I list a few of the things that she wrote:

“I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains”

“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.”

"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy."

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

“No one has ever become poor by giving.”

“I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.”

“I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.”

“And Then They Came for Me”

  2. Very cool. I love her book. Her wisdom and insightfulness at such a young age astounds me, especially considering the circumstances. I am most encouraged by her faith in people despite the evil that she witnessed. That's a good lesson for us all.
