Laura Ingalls Wilder Quote

The incurable optimism of the farmer who throws his seed on the ground every spring, betting it and his time against the elements, seemed inextricably to blend with the creed of her pioneer forefathers that it is better farther on-- only instead of farther on in space, it was farther on in time, over the horizon of the years ahead instead of the far horizon of the west.
