The poor child felt like a little bird that is placed in a glittering cage. - Johanna Spyri

God certainly knows of some happiness for us which He is going to bring out of the trouble, only we must have patience and not run away. And then all at once something happens and we see clearly ourselves that God has had some good thought in His mind all along; but because we cannot see things beforehand, and only know how dreadfully miserable we are, we think it is always going to be so.

...if you take big steps and climb with all your little might!

Flowers are made to bloom in the sun and not to be shut up in an apron.
