Quotes from The Diary of a Yong Girl by Anna Frank A Diary as a Best Friend (1942 -1944) Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Whoever is happy will make others happy too. I live in a crazy time. Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction. He who has courage and faith will never perish in misery!

Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness. The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be. Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!
