Your patience may have long to wait,Whether in little things or great,But all good luck, you soon will learn,Must come to those who nobly earn.Who hunts the hay-field overWill find the four-leaved clover.

Tain't worthwhile to wear a day all out before it comes.
friendship old-friends making-friends
Yes'm, old friends is always best, 'less you can catch a new one that's fit to make an old one out of.
peace winter quiet
Do not hurry too fast in these early winter days, - a quiet hour is worth more to you than anything you can do in it.
interesting feelings satisfaction
Satisfaction, even after one has dined well, is not so interesting and eager a feeling as hunger.
nice loneliness home
Such a nice day - out all day up in the Carter Notch direction, trout-fishing, with the long drive there and the long drive home again in time for supper. It was a lovely brook and I caught seven good trout and one small one - which eight trout-persons you should have for your breakfast if only you were near enough. It was not alone the fishing, but the delightful loneliness and being out of doors.
healing thinking sick
There's some herb that's good for everybody, except for them that thinks they're sick when they ain't.
