Daily Inspiration Quote by Lucy Maud Montgomery

A quiet defiance hides inside Montgomery's ellipsis. "That is one good thing about this world..". opens like a sigh from someone who knows the ledger of disappointment by heart, then pivots to a modest, almost stubborn consolation: "there are always sure to be more springs". It isn't naive optimism; it's seasonal realism, a faith grounded in recurrence rather than miracles. Spring, in Montgomery's hands, is less greeting-card rebirth than a structural guarantee: the world can hurt you, but it also keeps turning.

The intent feels pedagogical in the best sense. As an educator (and, in her fiction, a chronicler of young people learning how to survive their own intensity), Montgomery offers a coping strategy that doesn't require pretending winter wasn't brutal. The subtext is that hope doesn't have to be loud to be durable. You can be exhausted, heartbroken, even disillusioned, and still recognize that time contains another opening.

Context matters: Montgomery wrote from a place where seasons are not metaphors but lived regimes, and from a life marked by loss, duty, and bouts of depression. That makes the line read less like escapism and more like a negotiated truce with reality. The ellipsis performs the pause between grief and resilience, the moment you search for a reason to keep going and settle on one that can't be argued with. Springs will come. You just have to last until the thaw.
