"The prairie looks so beautiful and gentle," Laura said. "But I wonder what it will do next. Seems like we have to fight it all the time."
"This earthly life is a battle," said Ma. "If it isn't one thing to contend with, it's another. It always has been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make up your mind to that, the better off you are, and the more thankful for your pleasures."
-Laura and Ma Ingalls
Ma is right. It was true 120 years ago and it is true today.
