What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it from happening again.

You only really get to know people when you've had a jolly good row with them. Then and then only can you judge their true characters.

True Character

One must be prepared to make some sacrifices for some good cause.If we can save someone, then everything else is of secondary importance.

Sacrifices

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 realising it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful.

I know my own faults and shortcomings better than anyone, but the difference is that I also know that I want to improve, shall improve and have already improved a great deal.

A religion, it doesn't matter which, keeps a person on the right path. It isn't fear of God but the upholding of one's own honour and conscience.

What is the use of war? Why can't people live peacefully together?Why all this destruction?

A person can be lonely even if he is loved by many people, because he is still not the "One and Only" to anyone.

Lonely

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 long 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.

The Diary of a Young Girl - Anne Frank

Memorable Quotes for the book 'The Diary of a Young Girl' by Anne Frank

THE DEFINITIVE EDITION • Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has since become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. Updated for the 75th Anniversary of the Diary’s first publication with a new introduction by Nobel Prize–winner Nadia Murad “The single most compelling personal account of the Holocaust ... remains astonishing and excruciating.”—The New York Times Book Review In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and amusing, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short.
