"Are you quite certain you understand the
language of both the Guilkins and the Muchkins?"
"Quite certain, you Majesty," said Jellia
Jamb, trying hard not to laugh in the face of royalty.
"Then how is that I seem to understand them
myself?" inquired the Scarecrow.
"Because they are
one and the same!" declared the girl, now laughing merrily. "Does not
your Majesty know that in all land of Oz but one language is spoken?"

In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great
pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher,
until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was
carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.

"Did you ever sail a ship?"
"I've seen one sailed," said the shaggy man.
"Good. Sail this
boat the way you've seen a ship sailed, and you'll be across the sands before
you know it."

I had forgotten all about her. That was yesterday, you know, and a
Princess cannot be expected to remember today what she did yesterday.

"Are you unhappy, little girl?"
"Very!" was the reply; "I am
lost."
"Why, so we are," said Dorothy, smiling;
"but we don't cry about it."
"Don't you? Why not?"
"'Cause I've been
lost before, and always got found again," answered Dorothy simply.

Timeless Philosophy
THE WIZARD OF OZ
Not unlike The Little Prince, L. Frank Baum’s 1900 classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is one of the most beloved cultural staples of our time, translated into countless languages and adapted to multiple media. And not unlike Little Women, it too is a personal growth handbook disguised as a children’s novel. A story of overcoming our greatest shortcomings by opening up to and becoming accepting of others, Baum’s book is very much a manifesto for self-improvement through compassion.You have plenty of courage, I am sure,” answered Oz. “All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.”
From moral imperatives to philosophical reflections to political plots, The Wizard of Oz offers a magic box of profound discoveries, buried in a playground of childhood whimsy.

"These roads are all strange – and what a lot of
them there are! Where do you suppose they all to go?"
"Roads,"
observed the shaggy man, "don't go anywhere. They stay in one place, so
folks can walk on them."

"Where do you expect to get out?", asked Dorothy.
"I'm like Button-Bright. I don't know," answered the shaggy man, with a laugh. "But I've learned form long experience that every road leads somewhere, or they wouldn't be any road; so it's likely that if we travel long enough, my dear, we will come to some place or another in the end. What place it will be we can't even guess at this moment, but we're sure to find out when we get there.·
