In spite of everything I
still believe that people are really good
at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation
consisting of confusion, misery and death.

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

The best remedy for those who are
afraid, lonely or unhappy is to
go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the
heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all
is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst
the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exists, and it certainly
always will, I know that then there will always be comfort for every
sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe
that nature brings solace in all troubles.
I don't have much in the way of
money or worldly possessions, I'm not beautiful, intelligent or clever, but I'm
happy, and I intend to stay that way! I was born happy, I love people, I have a
trusting nature, and I'd like everyone else to be happy too.

I don't
want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be
useful
or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met.
I want to
go on living even after my death!
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.

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.
I know
what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I have a religion
and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know
that I’m a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty
of courage.

Earning happiness means doing good and working,
not speculating and being lazy.
Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true
satisfaction. |
| |
|
|
| |
There's
only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything
and forget everybody else! It sound egotistical, but it's actually
the only cure for those suffering from self-pity. |
| |
|
Everyone has
inside of him or her 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! |

I
don't have much in the way of money or worldly possessions,
I'm not beautiful, intelligent or clever, but I'm happy, and I
intend
to stay that way! I was born happy, I love people, I have a
trusting nature, and I'd like everyone else to be happy too. |

How
noble and good everyone could be if, every evening before falling
asleep, they were to recall to their minds the events of the whole
day
and consider exactly what has been good and bad. Then without
realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new
day. |

I know what I want, I have a goal, an opinion, I
have a religion
and love. Let me be myself and then I am satisfied. I know that
I’m
a woman, a woman with inward strength and plenty of courage. |

Marie "Anne" Frank (June 12, 1929 – ca. March
1945) was a German Jewish girl who wrote a diary while in hiding
with her family and four friends in Amsterdam during the German
occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her family
had moved to Amsterdam after the Nazis gained power in Germany but
were trapped when the Nazi occupation extended into The
Netherlands. As persecutions against the Jewish population
increased, the family went into hiding in July 1942 in hidden
rooms in Otto Frank's office building. After two years in
hiding, the group was betrayed and transported to the
concentration camp system where Anne died of typhus (in
Bergen-Belsen) within days of her sister, Margot, in February or
March 1945. Her father, Otto, the only survivor of the
group, returned to Amsterdam after the war ended, to find that her
diary had been saved. Convinced that it was a unique record
he took action to have it published.
The diary was
given to Anne Frank for her thirteenth birthday and chronicles the
events of her life from June 12, 1942 until its final entry of
August 1, 1944. It was eventually translated from its
original Dutch into many languages and became one of the world's
most widely read books. There have also been many theatrical
productions, and an opera, based on the diary. Described as
the work of a mature and insightful mind, it provides an intimate
examination of daily life under Nazi occupation; through her
writing, Anne Frank has become one of the most renowned and
discussed of the Holocaust victims. |
