More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
All women are princesses , it is our right.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room in it for an ugly one. - King Amor
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The mug from the washstand was used as Becky's tea cup, and the tea was so delicious that it was not necessary to pretend that it was anything but tea.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The truth is that when one is still a child-or even if one is grown up- and has been well fed, and has slept long and softly and warm when one has gone to sleep in the midst of a fairy story, and has wakened to find it real, one cannot be unhappy or even look as if one were and one could not, if one tried, keep a glow of joy out of one's eyes.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book.

Frances Hodgson Burnett
She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
death is always sudden however long one waits.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, he said wisely one day, but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so easy that when you begin you can't stop. You just go on and on doing it always.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live to be a man.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
People never like me and I never like people, she thought. And I never can talk as the Crawford children could. They were always talking and laughing and making noises.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
That's what I look at some people for. I like to know about them. I think them over afterward.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
When a man looks at the stars, he grows calm and forgets small things. They answer his questions and show him that his earth is only one of the million worlds. Hold your soul still and look upward often, and you will understand their speech. Never forget the stars.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
