“And if it's proud to have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts," Miss Jenny struck in, flushed, "she is proud.”

“Spanish for, I feel very proud to be Mexican. I didn't have the opportunity to learn Spanish when I was a girl, but … it's never too late to get in touch with your roots.”

““Oh,” said Brunilla, the cow-searcher. “A man with wings.”

“She hasn't your strength. She's never had any strength. She's never had anything but heart.”

“A bad-tempered man will never make a good-tempered horse.”

“You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun.
And only the good die young.”
